Since announcing his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2011, Glen Campbell has undergone one of the most prolonged public farewells in popular music. 2011’s rock-leaning Ghost on the Canvas, his final album of original material, was followed by 2013’s See You There, Campbell’s final re-recordings of his Sixties hits.
