Glen Campbell, 1936–2017
by Rob Beschizza from on (#2YR87)
Rolling Stone reports that country legend Glen Campbell is dead at 81.
Campbell was a rare breed in the music business, with various careers as a top-level studio guitarist, chart-topping singer and hit television host. His late-career battle with Alzheimer's - he allowed a documentary crew to film on his final tour for the 2014 award-winning I'll Be Me - made him a public face for the disease, a role President Bill Clinton suggested would one day be remembered even more than his music.
