    Dad was a nightclub/radio singer; died young, in 1957. Mom sang too; died of Alzheimer’s in 1998. Didn’t learn to play guitar or start writing songs until age 20, in 1964. Usually got a good reception doing your songs in amateur contests, as poorly as I sang and/or played. I still sing your songs (to myself) but stiff fingers (as opposed to memory loss, so far) discourage me from doing more, at age 69. Have a few old practice videos posted on YouTube and my own “www.amendforasafeus.com website,” with the Ovation guitar I was inspired to buy and keep by seeing you in Las Vegas. After seeing you and Ashley before Congress last evening am trying to reach you (e.g., alz.org) to share what I have uniquely learned about my concentration and memory problems. Good to go, for now. Best wishes.

    I grew up listening to the music of Glen Campbell. Unfortunately, I lost my hearing, and the only time I can “hear” the music is in my head, that is to say, my memory. I am saddened to hear his health has been affected by Alzheimer’s. Thank you Glen Campbell for all the many years I have been privileged and blessed to listen to your songs, your music.

    While coconut oil is a great idea, I am having wounderful results with the optimals I have given to some of my friends for this. It’s something that has alot of breakthrough information. Been a fan for many years and my heart went out to you when I heard the news today!
    Please don’t wait contact me ASAP I will be checking my e-mail often for a responce from anyone in your camp.
    Always,

    I lost my Grandfather to Alzheimers 20 years ago. Alzheimers may be a nutritional deficiency disease. The brain needs the fats, all this cutting out the fats is harmful to the body. I see other comments about COCONUT OIL and they are right! Get a jar of “unrefined” from WholeFoods or TraderJoes and mix some of it with Glen’s food everyday. Give him the clock test. Ask him to draw a clock. Then in 2 weeks have him do it again and you will see improvement. God bless him.

His Majesty is constantly impersonated and likened to other people, but during this brief struggle of life, has kept an open diary/ open letter of notes to those people around the world in many places who have all been contacted by His Majesty and assisted by Him for their lifetimes after they all survived a genocide and worldwide abuses, especially noted in these last two years of 2011/2012 that are not allowed into the public domain of news reporting, whilst others are still being rescued and assisted and cared for. The casual open diary of notes for children/families who survived who are being protected, is at the public internet worldwide site http://www.holy1prayer.blogspot.com.au/

    Glen, don’t say goodbye, add natural coconut oil to your diet and help reverse and stop alzheimers! I wish I knew about it when my Mom had alzheimers. She passed 9 years ago at the young age of 74. There is a dr. in Florida whose husband was diagnosed and she did research and apparently it is caused by the brain not absorbing glucose. I guess it is kind of like diabetes of the brain. Apparently he is doing great and goes jogging, reads and can hold conversations, when he couldn’t do any of that before. I am not selling anything, just passing on info. They use to use coconut oil in products all the time but when the whole cholesterol problem came to light, everyone switched to what was considered healthy oils, although it is now known that coconut is a healthy oil and actually helps good cholesterol. Since the manufactures have stopped using coconut oil the number of people with alzheimers has risen expotentially. And what is the risk? Nothing to lose and everything to gain. God Bless!
    I do agree that Alzheimers is not funny, however, when your Mother looks at you and says “you are a sweet little boy” when I am a 6ft tall woman, a sense of humor does help cope with your Mom slipping away.
    God Bless you Glen!

    I am only wanting to share the below email and see if there is any suggestions or contacts that you may be able to assist on. I lost my mother to early onset of Alzheimer’s. It was not funny and I still miss her. There are petitions to get it off the air, but people are reluctant to sign because so little is ever done. I am speaking from my heart along with many others who have walked in these shoes.
    I emailed the Manager of Greg Garcia of Raising Hope. Below is what I sent. Again, any suggestions, assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
    I am not asking for anything other than RESPECT.

    With much appreciation,

    Nancy Coin

    Ms. Reed,

    I called and left you a voice mail message. I am inquiring about the show Raising Hope. Its about MAW MAW and Alzheimer’s. Has anyone in your production crew ever be effected with Alzheimer’s? It is a gut wrenching disease that robs so many people and it is attacking younger and younger people everyday. My mother was a top executive with a major corporation who at an early age was diagnosed. Needless to say this was devastating to all the family and friends involved.

    DO you truly understand that shell that they live in? Do you know what it is like to walk in and say Good Morning Mom and this beautiful woman just stares at you and says “who are you?” Do you know that everyone with Alzheimer’s has a death sentence? I would just like to understand the justification of how you deem this show to be comical and funny when someone is dying and others are hurting knowing they are going to lose that special person. It is so disrespectful, heartbreaking and there are so many that do not understand Mr. Garcia’s decision to create and produce such a damaging show. There are far too many other things that are funny.

    Since when was a life, a human, a mother, father, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, friend, co worker, neighbor… dying funny?

    What next…. have a sitcom about all the soldiers who gave their life to this country….. is that funny too. The thousands who come back missing body parts?

    Alzheimer’s is NOT FUNNY. Is the cost of the care and treatment funny? DO you realize how many are abused by improper knowledge on how to care for Alzheimer patients?

    If this was your mother…….. would you think it was funny. Would you be laughing watching your mother die in front of you and not be able to do anything about it?

    If you were me………… what would you do?

    You and Mr. Garcia should watch the caregiver’s love story video with the song Hiding from the Rain to understand more what losing your love one to Alzheimer’s is like. http://hidingfromtherain.com/

    Out of Respect for those suffering and for who lost the battle already, don’t you think it would be appropriate to take this show off the air…………or turn it into an educational show? That would be beneficial to millions and you would still profit off someone’s pain…………… what a shame

    I would greatly appreciate a response back

    Sincerely

    Nancy Coin
    daughter of a Mother who died from Alzheimer’s and I didn’t laugh

    Glen, your songs brought me to the Lord. I was lost at 40, but then I heard you singing about Jesus and you were the one I believed was telling the truth.
    I can never thank you enough for the courage to sing for the Lord. I have been serving Him for over 20 years now and He gets sweeter all the time.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Damn, Glen –

    I’m getting choked up writing this…you’ve brought so much comfort and joy to my life. I wish you would change your “goodbye” campaign, to the “I’ll see you later” campaign. No goodbye’s…..

    I’ve been a big fan of yours since back in the day, and like millions of others, you’ve made a huge positive impact on our lives. Thanks Glen, I’ll see you later!

    Cheers!

    I am also Messianic. I want you to have this information. Talk to your Holistic Doctor about Ascorbic Acid Chelation for detoxing your brain of metals, especially aluminum. This is an intravenous treatment. It is quick and safe and is on a cutting edge for treating and perhaps curing this disease process. I am praying that you will receive this information and that someone will see to it that you receive this e-mail.

    Any quality pure coconut oil will help treat Alzheimer’s disease. there are many sources available. search youtube and you will be surprised at the info available.

  • Jazzidonna5 from Wisconsin

    Do you remember your first album? (yes, I am that old) – mine was Glen Campbell and he was my first celebrity crush. Attending a concert of his was always on my bucket list and when he announced his final tour, I vowed to attend one somewhere. Attended Joilet, IL on Jan 26, my 56th birthday. Best gift ever. I indicated “now I can die since I’ve seen Glen Campbell”. OK, a little dramatic, but seriously I sang every song along with him and helped him out with the lyrics because I know all the words to each one of them. Loved the lifetime achievement award at the Grammys and the recent TV specials highlighting this incidious disease Alzheimers. You go Glen..you deserve all the allocades and thanks for highlighting the need to find a cure! Your kids and wife are also tops. The love showed through at the concert and on TV.

  • Linda

    Really enjoyed your Goodbye Tour on Fox. Please contact Life Extension supplements for Neuro-Mag which has shown much improvement for Alzheimers. Also try Jarrow Coconut oil – only thing on the coconut oil – it is out of stock at manufacturers. Try Life Extension brand of Neuro-mag first since the coconut oil is out of stock.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/BOZUXYERXFPUJKKQUOPZQZ2OD4 J

    What a special night. The courage it is taking for Glen and his children is amazing. At the same time, they are able to perform with their Dad on The GoodBye Tour. One of Glen’s solos was very special with Ashley sitting nearby on a platform in the background just in case Dad needed assistance.
    I hope a cd will be offered of the Phoenix show and maybe of all the other appearances. Even though the shows will be the same, each will have those special moments only to that show. The cd could be made on a confirmed order only.

  • Donwilson2011

    Hi everyone. I ordered Glen’s Ghost on the Canvas signed album set and got it Feb 17, 2012. IMO this is Glen’s best album. Don’t get me wrong I love all of Glen’s music but the songs on this album will blow you away.

    There is a product called Prevagen that has proven to me to help my mother. Please check it out. You can find it a http://www.prevagen.com. My mother’s memory has greatly improved she is remembering more and more daily. It is gradual but clearly something is happening and we are no longer losing ground. I make no money off of this product and have nothing to gain other than to know that it may make a difference in you. It is horrible to watch your love one slip away with Alzheimers. But, I am so thankful to see my mom coming back to us and I hope it will work for you. By the way many of my family members don’t believe in it because a “doctor” did prescribe it to her. But, they can’t explain or understand how she went from not being able to carry on a converstation to not only having a conversation but starting to order people around. ha! Walgreens and Rite-Aid also carry this product. I hope it not only helps Glen Campbell but also anyone else who has this condition or starting to have memory problems. Sincerely…..

    Mr. Campell,
    I recently read about your battle with Alzheimers. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your music has touched the lives of so many over the years. You will be in our hearts for ever.
    God Bless

  • Rick

    I have always been a fan of yours. My dad has one of your songs “The Lord’s Prayer” that was so well done but I can’t find anywhere. For your Alzheimers, contact Dr. Garry Gordon in Payson. Benny Hinn saw him for his health and was so amazed that he had Dr. Gordon on his show.

    • Carrieann

      Rick — You can find “The Lord’s Prayer” on Glen’s “Favorite Hymns” or on his “Legacy” 4 CD set or on Glen Campbell “Live” — they are all still available on Amazon.

  • Brian O’Neill

    I urge the doctor(s) and family of Glen Campbell to seek out the results of Dr. Newport and her husband who she treated with cold-pressed, organic coconut oil in conjunction with other substances. It seems as if the positive effects on the dementia are quantifiable and genuine. I would love to know that Glen Campbell was benefitted by this regime (or any at all), as I have been a fan of his music since about the beginning.

      This is a good piece of info for Glen Campbell and many, many others. Amazing that I could come across it on the hateful CBN. Isn’t that the site of Pat Robertson and all those quasi-Christians who forget to mention that Christ was all about the poor and disadvantaged and, try to remember this one, it is harder for a rich man to get to heaven than it is for a camel to get through the eye of a needle? Do you hear that all you rich “Christians?” The bigger the gap between rich and poor becomes in the U.S., the less Jesus, the Good Shepard, likes it. Don’t believe me, go to the New Testament and see what the Boss says. If you can’t relate to the poor, haven’t a clue what they are going through, then you just can’t and will never get it. Are you listening Mitt and all those rich and wannabe rich at the CPAC extravaganza in Washington this weekend. One more thing: Christians do not follow a Saviour who permits racial prejudice to abide anywhere near him. When you allow racial divisiveness and bigotry in your midst you say “go away, Jesus!” This is a fact and no wiggle room is provided. BTW, thanks for the link to the video, Joan.

    I recommend seeing Dr H Richard Casdorph in Long Beach, CA, the Casdorph Clinic. Dr Casdorph has had excellent results eliminating or reducing Alzheimer’s using Chealtion Therapy. Dr Casdorph is one of the best in the country at this. He writes about this in his book The Toxic Metal Syndrome. Best wishes. Brad Handlin, Strongsville, OH

    Hello Glen,

    I’m really saddened to hear about Alzheimer’s. My grandmother died from it at 96 years old back in 2007.

    I just turned 50 today.

    My dad used to listen to your music a lot when I was a little kid back in the late ’60s so I got a very strong appreciation of you from back then.

    What your music means to me was the simplicity of life in a world long ago that none of us can really know anymore. That is the way I interpret it. Your lyrics seemed very heartfelt and sincere to me and they were full of emotion.

    I don’t care what mistakes you made in your life, because you overcame them so you are a winner in my book. Look at all you accomplished. It is much greater than what I will ever be able to do.

    I am unemployed as of two days ago (great birthday present). I hope to find work again soon.

    I have struggled with severe depression all my life. I have no children and I really wonder sometimes what my life was for…but I do keep trying to find out what that is. I keep trying to survive and get ahead a little at a time, and knowing I can always listen to your music gives me a way to hold onto something that was real to me.

    Thank you for being a small but significant part of my life and my sentimentality.

    • Michael Davis

      Read my post above. I had such severe depression it led to a loss of everything and homelessness four times over the ten years from 2000 to 2010. I am way past that now with my own business and a happy and fulfilling life. I’m glad God stopped my suicide attempt (I tool 32 sleeping pills with a liter and a half of wine). I urge you to read the article I linked to in my post above.

      Best wishes, Steve

  • DTuula

    Glen, I have grown up on your music and the first songbook I ever bought was a Glen Campbell one. Your guitar playing inspired me to pick up the guitar and learn to play like you. The first real guitar I ever bought was an Ovation because thats what you played. It is hell to get older but we must do as we do but the sounds of the Wichita Lineman will be forever playing in our minds. God Bless and take care. Dave Tuula

  • Ken and Janice

    Dear Mr. Campbell my wife and I have been fans for all of our lives, over 50 years! We will be at your concert in Southern California… at the Pala Casino and Resort. We would be most grateful if you could sing two of our favorites: “If These Walls Could Speak” and “Only One Life”. They are our favorites and would be a fitting tribute to your amazing career.

  • Linda M. Brandt

    I’m a survivor, Glenn, of a very rare and serious brain tumor whereby nearly 25% of my brain had to be removed. That was nearly 7 years ago and after almost three years of grueling therapy, I am now walking, painting and driving again. I am also now painting on stage again to music. I thought you may like to know that I spoke last month to an audience of encephalitis survivors who have had some very traumatic changes to their everyday lives. ( I also had encephalitis when I was 13 and miraculously survived ten days being in a coma where my parents were not given an encouraging prognosis) God has been so good to me and blessed me. I thought you may want to know that the song I painted to was your “Ghost on the Canvas”…it was perfect as the form emerged through the painting!!! Thank you, thank you for this beautiful song and for your whole life of beautiful music!

  • Ron Toft, Journalist

    Saw Glen in Basingstoke recently. Despite his advancing years and illness, he’s still light years ahead of most modern performers. I will cherish his records and his live performances to my dying day. Thank you, Glen, for a thousand lifetimes of magical artistry and for the wonderful legacy you have left us, and future generations.

  • Stevemyers1980

    Saw the performance in Nottingham on Wednesday. It was fantastic to see a true entertainer. I have been to several concerts over the last 40 years and can say that your rendition of The Moon’s a Harsh Mistress (one of my favourites) was superb and the standing ovasion we gave you at the end brought a tear to my eyes. Thank you for giving me so much enjoyment listening to all your music.

  • RealMusicLover

    Having just returned from seeing Glen and his young family perform tonight at St Davids Hall – Cardiff… What can I say… Glen your a legend… Thank You for the Music from the tunes on my Dad’s 8 Track in the 70′s to the sounds on my iPod today… God Bless You…. Mike and Moira – Aberdare :)

    Thank you for sharing your fantastic gift. Your songs have been there to celebrate my happiest times and have also seen me through lifes challenges. My greatest pleasure will be seeing you in Nottingham England in October with my mum (Fay). Mum is 77 and coming down from Scotland to cheer you on. She has also managed to get the last ticket for your show in Glasgow in November! We cant wait!!

    Lots of love from Ros & Fay (Campbeltown girls)

    I have loved you since I was a kid and the days of Galveston and Wichita Lineman. Knew those songs before I even knew it was you singing them. Drove around in the summer at night after getting off the swing shift listening to Southern Nights. Of course True Grit!!! Right on through to today. You have been a part of my life. Thank you Glenn. Awesome guitar picking by the way!!!
