Glen Campbell Death Reports Not True: Country Singer Glen Campbell Not Dead, Moved to Alzheimer's Facility

Glen Campbell death reports are not at all true. The country singer is not dead and he was even transferred to an Alzheimer's care facility just early this month, People reported today.

Although Glen Campbell death reports, claiming the passing of the Grammy-winning "Galveston" crooner, have surfaced online, there is nothing authentic about the said reports.

A family friend of Glen Campbell slammed the reports as false, when he revealed that the 77-year-old singer is not dead and he was recently transferred to a care facility that would focus more on his condition.

"He was moved to an Alzheimer's facility last week," the family friend told People. "I'm not sure what the permanent plan is for him yet. We'll know more next week."

It can be noted that the Glen Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease back in early 2011, according to Billboard.com.

Because of the shocking announcement, many fans of the crooner immediately expressed their thoughts and prayers on Campbell's official website.

The Chron reported that the Alzheimer's Association has honored Campbell on March 26 with its inaugural Glen Campbell Courage Award.

Glen Campbell has a well-established career; he has sold more than 45 million albums throughout his singing career.

Turning 78 on April 22, Campbell was named the Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year during the first-televised CMA Awards back in 1968.

In 2005, he was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Several news sites are reiterating that the Glen Campbell death reports are not at all true. They also point out that the Nashville Film Festival will be showcasing the world premiere of James Keach's documentary "Glen Campbell... I'll Be Me" this Friday, April 18.

The said documentary "follows Campbell, his wife, and their three adult children - Cal, Shannon, and Ashley - as they deal with the various stages of the disease and perform on the road together," according to People.
