Singer Glen Campbell‘s battle with Alzheimer’s has progressed to the point where
he is unlikely to ever perform in public again. According to his wife Kim Woolen, “he
can’t even tune a guitar now”. She told reporters at the Open Hearts Foundation’s
4th Annual Gala in Malibu on Saturday, “If I tune one and hand it to him he can still
”play a couple licks here and there, and he finds joy in that.” Glen is now living in a
full-time care facility near the family’s home in Nashville.
