Update on Bruce’s health

Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia earlier this year, just after a previous aphasia diagnosis. One of the effects of FTD is impaired communication. Therefore, Bruce’s career has been greatly affected. His family, including his wife, Emma, and ex-wife Demi Moore and their daughters, have been present and supportive of him so far.
