Alzheimer's & The Rhinestone Cowboy

In June of 2011, country music start Glen Campbell learned that he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.  After the diagnosis, Glen and his manager decided to produce 'The Goodbye Tour', which would be his final pubic performing tour.  The tour and events surrounding his disease were filmed, and have been turned into a documentary on Alzheimer's Disease. 

The documentary, titled "I'll Be Me" is scheduled to be released on October 24, 2014. The producers describe the film as a show that Glen would want to watch. Despite the serious topic, the goal was to create a positive message, particularly for those that deal with Alzheimer's in their own lives.  A video trailer from the show is available from youtube.com...

As is inevitable with Alzheimer's disease, it's progress has forced Glen to now reside in a memory care facility. Based on the reviews and write-ups on the documentary, this will probably be worth watching.
