Glen Campbell’s last record, “Adios,” was “therapeutic” for the legendary country singer who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, said his daughter Ashley Campbell. The singer recorded the album after his diagnosis in 2011, and is now in the late stages of the disease, living in a memory care facility in Nashville, Tennessee.

In a recent interview with People magazine, the Campbell family disclosed details of Glen’s current life as he continues to battle against the final stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

“Sometimes he’ll just close his eyes and kind of smile and start singing along, even though we don’t know what he’s singing along to, but he’s got a song in his heart and it’s really beautiful to see that,” explained his daughter Ashley Campbell to People.

Glen’s fans are currently enjoying his last piece of work with the music of “Adios,” which was originally recorded in 2012 and just released on June 9. “It’s kind of a recorded version of him and his love for music even after Alzheimer’s,” Ashley said. “It didn’t take his voice or his soul in the music, and so that’s what you hear on his record.”

Our hearts remain with Glen and his family at this difficult, yet sometimes beautiful, time of their lives.
