After Glen Campbell announced his Alzheimer's Disease in June 2011, he still performed for captive audiences who crooned with him to tunes like 'Gentle On My Mind' and 'Rhinestone Cowboy.' Sadly, now that the disease has begun to take its course, he is unlikely to perform for fans again.

The last "real" Mother's Day I had was in 1976. That's because around the Spring of that year, my Mom was diagnosed with colon cancer. Not nearly as much information was available then as there is now; and such screening procedures as colonoscopies weren't available on a widespread basis.

Glen Campbell's wife Kim, is speaking out about her husband after news broke that he has been moved into a facility that specializes in Alzheimer's care.

Glen Campbell has been moved to a facility that specializes in Alzheimer’s care. The 77-year-old has been battling the disease for three years. Fans found out about it in 2011.

The iconic Glen Campbell has contributed to country music in lasting ways, and his presence in the industry (since 1958) will never be forgotten. However, the singer is battling Alzheimer's, and now more than ever, his family needs to remember the good memories -- because each day is a struggle.

Although country music legend Glen Campbell is working on an album of re-recorded hits, he struggles with Alzheimer's Disease daily. The singer's daughter, Ashley Campbell, gave an emotional plea for Alzheimer's research at a Senate hearing at Capitol Hill this week; her testimony is a grim reminder that this is a heartbreaking disease.

Glen Campbell's battle with Alzheimer's has forced him to stop touring but the 'Gentle on My Mind' hitmaker will still contribute to country music. He's planning an upcoming album of re-recorded hits, entitled 'See You There.'

One of Glen Campbell's signature hits at the height of his career was 'Galveston,' which reachedNo. 1 on the country and easy listening charts and No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969. The song has become the unofficial anthem of its namesake beach city, and now Galveston, Texas has decided to use the tune for a tourism campaign.

As a finishing touch to his Farewell Tour, which has been criss-crossing the country over the past few months, Glen Campbell has released a tear-jerking new music video for 'A Better Place,' which will put a lump in the viewer's throat from the first bar of the song.

During last night's (September 6) near-capacity concert in Little Rock, Ark., the Robinson Center Music Hall audience was on their feet before the band ever played a note of music, the packed room delivering a heartfelt, standing ovation for Glen Campbell, Arkansas's native son and the country music icon on the final stops of his unprecedented Goodbye Tour.

Last summer, the world was saddened by the news that legendary country star Glen Campbell was in the beginning stages of his battle with Alzheimer’s. Rather than laying low and disappearing from the music scene, Campbell announced a full-blown tour as his way to say thank you to his loyal fans throughout the years.

That's right tonight on ABC at 7pm the 45th Annual CMA Awards will be taken place and get ready because it has certainly been an interesting year in country music.  Seems like more duets came out this year as well.  Chesney and Potter, Paisley and Underwood, Aldean and Clarkson, Zac Brown and Buffet...
