Glen Campbell

Glen Campbell's wife recently made a difficult decision about her husband. She opted to put the singer into a long-term facility and she's recently gotten quite a bit of criticism over her decision.

Glen Campbell has been in an Alzheimer's care facility since April, but his oldest daughter Debbie is fighting to take him home and provide care for him herself.

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.

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.

With its rolling rhythm and Glen Campbell's iconic country vocals, 'Gentle on My Mind' is the epitome of a feel-good country love song. The Grammy Award-winning hit was written by John Hartford in 1968, and was a cover song for Campbell. Both Hartford and the legendary country star won Grammy Awards for the folksy country tune.
