Glen Campbell

In March 2016 it was reported that Campbell was in the final stages of Alzheimer's disease.

As his Alzheimer's worsened, Campbell was forced to cancel 2012 live dates in Australia and New Zealand. As of April 2014, he was forced to move into an Alzheimer's facility.

When his career went into a decline, he developed a drug problem from which he recovered. In November 2003, however, he was arrested for drunk driving that included a charge of battery to a police officer, which was later dropped. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail and community service.

Believed his singing voice improved after he quit smoking on 15 March 1992.

In the 1990s, Glen released a series of gospel albums, which opened up new vistas for the star and garnered a prestigious Dove Award.

Gave up drinking alcohol in 1989, apart from a relapse in 2003.

His eldest daughter from his first marriage, Debbie Campbell, joined his stage show in 1987 and has toured with him ever since.

Children with Kim Campbell (nee Woollen): Cal Campbell (born in 1983); Shannon Campbell (born in 1985); and Ashley Campbell (born in 1986). Cal and Shannon both have their own bands and play locally in L.A. and Phoenix (AZ), and Ashley attends Pepperdine University,in Malibu, CA, as a Theatre major.

Had a son, Dillon Ian Campbell, born 1980, with his third wife Sarah. They divorced three weeks after she gave birth.

Was hand-picked by actor John Wayne to play alongside him in the western film True Grit (1969), which gave Campbell a Golden Globe nomination for "Most Promising Newcomer," and had a hit with the title song which was nominated for an Academy Award. He performed it live at that year's Academy Awards Show.

The 1964 hit "Little Honda" by The Hondells was actually recorded by a group of studio musicians, including Campbell on lead guitar and Hal Blaine on drums. The group known as The Hondells was put together for touring purposes after the song became a hit, but they had nothing to do with the actual recording of the song itself.

Played rhythm guitar on two #1 Billboard pop hits: Shelley Fabares' "Johnny Angel" (from 1962) & Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" (from 1966).

Before finally enjoying success on his own in the late 1960s, he was one of the top studio guitarists on the West Coast for more than a decade. A list of performers he accompanied reads almost like a who's-who of the top names of the era and includes Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys, Nat 'King' Cole, Frankie Laine, Ricky Nelson, Jan Berry and Dean Torrence (aka Jan and Dean), Judy Garland, Dean Martin, The Kingston Trio (contributing a fourth voice on their 1963 hit "Desert Pete," you can easily hear him on the chorus), The Crickets and The Limeliters.

His first child, a son, died as an infant. His daughter, Deborah, was born in 1956.

Glen Campbell was born on April 22, 1936 in Billstown, Arkansas, USA as Glen Travis Campbell. He was married to Kim Campbell, Sarah Jan Barg Davis, Billie Jean Nunley and Diane Kirk.
