Glen has informed world know he is in the first stage of Alzheimer's disease, but is excited going on the road one last time with his grown kids playing in the band. Glen is not just known for his hit records and shows, he played lead on over 100 big hit records for other artists and toured for a while with the Beach Boys. Here is a short list of Glen's contribution playing guitar in the studio.
Strangers in the Night by Frank Sinatra
You've lost that Lovin Feelin - Righteous Brothers

This is just a sample. Glen was one of the best studio musicians in history.

He was, and likely still is, one of the friendliest, warmest, most genuine entertainers I ever met. And despite his totally confident image in concert, he may have had one of the most fragile personalities I ever experienced. Like the rest of his fans, I wish him the best in his battle with one of life's most devastating afflictions.

Listened to the new album yesterday. It's a really really great album and should be checked out.
Last 2 albums were his best stuff he has ever recorded though hard to beat "Wichita Lineman","Galveston" and "Where's The Playground Susie"

Campbell held his own against John Wayne in "True Grit". No slouch as an actor as well.

His appearances on Ytube with the Wichita? Orchestra are astounding.....I may have the city wrong. But very nice material...JIMMY Webb told his father he wanted to stay in LA
and pursue a career on songwriting.Jimmy's Dad reportedly replied
'This songwriting is gonna break your heart, son."
Oops! Doh!
Don't listen to people...They merely wanna hear themselves talk.
Jimmy made Glen Campbell's career.
