Glen Campbell Forums

Hi Dee, When you think about all the questions raised at the time, whether Glen should be out touring I think what has happened since that point has been astounding and a total validation for Glen, Kim and all the family. This really is a crowning glory for Glen and his career.

Congratulations to Glen Campbell on being honored today as an “INFLUENCER IN AGING” by Next Avenue!

Fifty inspiring thought leaders, innovators, doctors, authors, advocates, experts, executives and others are receiving this recognition for changing how we age and think about aging. Glen is among the FIRST honorees to be recognized by Next Avenue’s newly-created annual list!

From Next Avenue as reported by Forbes:

“Music legend Glen Campbell and his wife, Kim Campbell, made a significant contribution to education about Alzheimer’s disease through the documentary Glen Campbell ... I’ll Be Me. The award-winning film followed Campbell on his final multi-city tour after his Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

At times warm, funny and heart-wrenching, the documentary gives a realistic view into what the disease does to a whole family. And Campbell’s place in the pantheon of country and pop music gives him a powerful position to share that picture widely. The courage he showed by opening his home, family life and heart during a time of vulnerability only makes us admire Campbell more.

As the movie’s co-producer James Keach told Next Avenue: ‘Glen and his family… have really dedicated their life to changing the face of Alzheimer’s in America.’”
