Sad to read this about the legendary country/pop star, session musician (part of the 60s "Wrecking Crew" that included Carol Kaye, Hal Blaine and Leon Russell) and temporary Beach Boy (on a tour in the 60s after Brian Wilson opted to get off the road and work solely in the recording studio).
I genuinely liked Campbell's previous album MEET GLEN CAMPBELL--and am looking forward to his final recording GHOST ON THE CANVAS. But I have some qualms about his determination to go out on tour (which is probably wearying enough on most people in their mid-70s) while suffering from Alzheimer's.
To me, it would be better if Campbell retires with dignity immediately after GHOST's release, instead of attracting cruel, insensitive reactions from people who will go to the shows expecting to see flubs, faltering and genuine helplessness.
