Glen Campbell Update: Now At Home

HARTFORD, CT -- Kim Campbell says her husband Glen Campbell is back home, and the family is taking his Alzheimer’s Disease battle one day at a time. According to A Taste of Country, the singer is usually healthy and cheerful, she says, but prone to physical outbursts, including one that gave her a black eye.

Kim Campbell tells Country WWYZ 92.5 FM morning show host Broadway that her husband is in late stage six of seven stages of the disease. He can’t communicate and doesn’t understand others. He can, however, say short phrases.

“He calls me Mrs. Campbell,” she says, “But he definitely understands smiles, hugs, kisses. He’s physically healthy, cheerful and content most of the time.”

“I’ve been married to him for 33 years so I just intuitively know what he needs,” she tells Broadway.
