Days after announcing on Facebook that he will be retiring from touring later this year and an awful concert, David Cassidy reveals that he is suffering from Dementia.
The former teen idol made the revelation after he was accused of being drunk during Saturday’s show when he forgot the lyrics to some of his most famous songs. He told People, “I was in denial, but a part of me always knew this was coming,” because he watched both his grandfather and mother die from the dreadful disease that cause memory loss and more. He recalled what his mother went through at the end, “The only way I knew she recognized me is with one single tear that would drop from her eye every time I walked into the room…I feared I would end up that way.”
Instead of being negative about his diagnosis, the 66 year old still wants to enjoy life. Hopefully, he will get to do just that because he has brought so much joy to his fans for over 50 years.
