Glen Campbell cancels international concert dates

Glen Campbell has ended up canceling his tour in Australia and New Zealand next month for health reasons. He was to be joined by Kenny Rogers. The Country Music Hall of Famer is battling Alzheimer’s disease and according to his spokeswoman, the singer was not up for “the very long flight that it would require.”

The tour dates were scheduled to be Glen’s last international stop on his Goodbye Tour. Kenny Rogers will continue with the tour as planned which kicks off on August 10 in Christchurch, New Zealand. Australian country artist will fill in as special guests.

Glen, best known for his hits like “Gentle On My Mind,” ‘’Wichita Lineman,” and “Rhinestone Cowboy,” received the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award earlier this year. He also made his final appearance at CMA Music Festival. Glen has shows scheduled cross the U.S. through October.

Best of wishes go out to the singer and his family during the battle of this awful disease.
