Country Star Glen Campbell Dead
Country legend Glen Campbell has died.
FOX’s Tonya J. Powers looks back on Campbell’s career:
Glen Campbell had a string of hits, in the 60’s and 70’s, with over 70 albums:
(Campbell) “Like a Rhinestone Cowboy.”
Dolly Parton says Campbell was special because he was so gifted:
(Parton) “Glen is one of the greatest voices that ever was in the business and he was one the greatest musicians, he was a wonderful session musician.”
He made history in 1967 by winning four Grammy’s in the Country and Pop categories. The 2014 documentary “I’ll Be Me” detailed Glen’s farewell tour and struggle with Alzheimer’s.
The family is asking for privacy at this time and in lieu of flowers, they say donations can be made to Glen Campbell Memorial Fund at BrightFocus Foundation.
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Glen Travis Campbell, at the age of 81 https://t.co/zSv4RqjK4H
