In June 2011, music legend, Glen Campbell, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, reminding us that disease doesn’t discriminate. Rather than wait for his diagnosis to consume him, Campbell decided to take Alzheimer’s on the road for a 151 show ‘Goodbye Tour’ across the United States.
The documentary, ‘Glen Campbell: I’m Still Here’, follows the musician and his family for 425 days as Campbell progresses through the tour and the disease. As much as the trailer depicts a grim portrait of Alzheimer’s, what’s more apparent is the resilience and fervor with which Campbell, his family and his friends take on the challenge.
While there is still no cure for the Alzheimer’s, many people have found music to be a positive force in dementia patients. Campbell’s journey is an example not only of the power of music, but also the importance of honoring and accepting those living with the disease. Employing laughter, love and especially music, the documentary is an inspirational and triumphant look at the ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’s’ last ride.
The film is set to premiere in Nashville, TN on October 24th.
