Glen Campbell News on Country Music News Blog

We’ve just received the news that the music world has sadly lost another icon. Glen Campbell has passed at the age of 81 from complications relating to his long battle with Alzheimers. Glen’s legacy will carry him forward in our hearts and in the industry as we look back and appreciate all of his contributions to the soundtrack of our lives. Rest well Glen. As listed by our friends at TMZ: The musician released more than 70 albums over a 50-year career, and had a series of hits in the ’60s and ’70s including “Gentle on My Mind,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Galveston,” “Country Boy” and his best-selling single, “Rhinestone Cowboy.” Glen made history in 1967 by winning 4 Grammys in the country and pop categories, and took home CMA’s Entertainer of the Year award in 1968. Glen was attended by family until his passing, and is survived by his loving wife Kim, as well as 8 children.

Glen Campbell will be joined by Blake Shelton and The Band Perry for a special performance at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. After Campbell was awkwardly cut off after being pulled onstage during a tribute performance at the 2011 CMA Awards, its good to see that he’s being given another chance to get back on stage. Glen has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and is currently in the midst of his farewell tour which will run until the end of June this year. The 2012 Grammy Awards air LIVE on CBS on Sunday, February 12th. Other country artists expected to perform include Taylor Swift and Jason Aldean with Kelly Clarkson.
