## A Musical Titan
Glen Campbell’s contribution to music was staggering. From his early days as a highly sought-after session guitarist in the ‘Wrecking Crew’ playing on hits for Frank Sinatra and The Beach Boys, to his own massive solo career with classics like ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’ and ‘Wichita Lineman,’ Campbell was an unparalleled talent. But in 2011, he publicly announced a devastating diagnosis: Alzheimer’s disease.
## The Goodbye Tour
Instead of quietly fading away, Campbell and his family made a remarkably brave decision to embark on a massive ‘Goodbye Tour.’ Backed by three of his children in his band, Campbell performed 151 shows while the disease actively eroded his memory. Fans witnessed moments of confusion on stage, but the muscle memory of his brilliant guitar playing and his pristine voice remarkably remained intact.
## A Final Masterpiece
The tour was documented in the heartbreaking film ‘I’ll Be Me.’ For the soundtrack, Campbell recorded his final song, ‘I’m Not Gonna Miss You,’ a profoundly moving, honest look at his fading mind, noting that he wouldn’t even remember the pain of what he was losing. He passed away in 2017, having offered the world a courageous, transparent look at the harsh realities of Alzheimer’s.
