Yes, it will be sad. He's had a long career and written some great pieces of music. A legend that will be missed, for sure. But hopefully the progress of his disease slows down and gives him a few more years without sliding any deeper into forgetfulness.
I knew he was a Beach Boy for a while, when Brian Wilson stopped touring, but had not known he was also one of the Champs, after they had their only big hit "Tequila", way back then.
We did a tour recently through Colorado, Utah, and Nevada, and they played his "Wichita Lineman" as the bus rolled along the long stretches of desert road. Most suitable.
Glen Campbell's goodbye tour
He is making a new album to go with the tour.
