glen campbell has alzheimer's disease

Glen Campbell has revealed his diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease to People magazine. Campbell, 75, and wife Kim have gone public with this information.  Glen will be on his farewell tour this fall. 
"Glen is still an awesome guitar player and singer," Kim told the publication. "But if he flubs a lyric or gets confused on stage, I wouldn't want people to think, 'What's the matter with him? Is he drunk?'" Campbell was diagnosed six months ago, although he had been suffering from short-term memory loss for years, according to the People story. 
Campbell was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005. His hits include "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Gentle on My Mind," "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Galveston" and "Wichita Lineman."

"Cost of Livin’," Dunn’s new single, shipped to radio stations this week. Music critics have singled out this track as an all-too-real everyman’s portrait. The New York Times shares that “by song’s end pride has mixed with fear in vivid fashion” and USA Today picked it as the “one to download.”


Ronnie Dunn calls this album "the one I've always wanted to make." Its depth of material includes the poignant smash first single, “Bleed Red,” to the energized “How Far to Waco,” and the devastating, heart-on-the-line balladry of the Dunn-penned “Last Love I’m Tryin.”

The collection kicks-off with the party-time opener, “Singer in a Cowboy Band” and closes with the soulful “Love Owes Me One.”
