GLEN CAMPBELL HAS ALZHEIMER'S

He spoke with People magazine exclusively. The diagnosis was made six months ago, but he has suffered from short term memory loss for years. Because he has some farewell concerts planned this fall his wife Kim says he decided to go public now. She says, "Glen is still an awesome guitar player and singer. But if he flubs a lyric or gets confused on stage, I wouldn't want people to think, 'What's the matter with him? Is he drunk?" Glen says, "I still love making music. And I still love performing for my fans. I'd like to thank them for sticking with me through thick and thin."
