Glen Campbell Dies; Country Music Legend Was 81
Glen Campbell, the country music icon who recorded such hits as “Rhinestone Cowboy,” “Wichita Lineman” and “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” has passed away at the age of 81.
Campbell had been battling Alzheimer’s for several years.
A representative for Campbell’s label, Universal Music Group, confirmed his passing in a press release issued moments ago:
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and legendary singer and guitarist, Glen Travis Campbell, at the age of 81, following his long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease,” reads the statement.
Born in Billstown, Arkansas in 1936, Campbell began his music career at the age of 14, when he moved to Wyoming to play a circuit of rural bars with a musician uncle.
Shortly thereafter, Campbell moved to Los Angeles, where he earned a spot with the iconic group of session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew.
During his time as one of the most in-demand studio guitarists in the world, Campbell appeared on numerous hits, including the Byrds’ “Mr. Tambourine Man,” Elvis Presley’s “Viva Las Vegas,” Merle Haggard’s “Mama Tried,” and the Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.”
In 1964, Campbell caught another big break when he was asked to fill in for the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, who had suffered a nervous breakdown during an international tour.
From there, Campbell embarked on a solo career, releasing his first major hit, “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” in 1967.
Several other hits, including “Galveston” and “Wichita Lineman” followed soon thereafter.
After drawing raves for his appearance on the Smothers Brothers’ popular variety show in 1968, Campbell was accepted an offer to host his own series, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour.
He used his position as host to shine a spotlight on such lesser-known artists as Willie Nelson.
“He exposed us to a big part of the world that would have never had the chance to see us,” said Nelson. “He’s always been a big help to me.”
In 1975, Campbell became a cross-over mega-star yet again with his biggest hit and signature tune, “Rhinestone Cowboy.”
Countless tributes to Campbell have poured in on social media, including the above tweet from his daughter, country singer Ashley, who posted a photo of her hand intertwined with her ailing father’s.
“Heartbroken. I owe him everything I am, and everything I ever will be. He will be remembered so well and with so much love,” wrote Ashley, who often accompanied her father on banjo in his later years.
Glen Campbell is survived by his wife, Kimberly Wollen, and eight children.
Our thoughts go out to his family during this difficult time.

Nina Dobrev and Glen Powell: Dating, Now with PDA!
Months ago, we told you that Nina Dobrev and Glen Powell are dating.
The former Vampire Diaries star who also happens to be one of the most beautiful people on the planet and the Scream Queens actor are both apparently friends who have turned into something more, but it’s been so hard to get confirmation.
But sometimes all that you need to announce your relationship isn’t a tweet or a press release — just some good ol’ PDA.
But first, E! has a source that confirms that Nina Dobrev and Glen Powell are dating.
Though, as you’ll see, we barely even need a source at this point.
But they do provide a little context.
“Nina and Glen are dating. They were friends and it turned into something more a little while ago.”
We’re thinking that “a little while ago” was back in January or perhaps a little earlier.
It’s hard to tell when a relationship starts.
Not just for outsiders — like, sometimes a blossoming couple can’t put their finger on when their friendship became romantic.
“They like each other and are seeing where it goes.”
That’s a good way to start dating.
Unless you’re, like, in the Duggar fertility cult and courtship is supposed to lead to nothing but side-hugs and marriage.
But the source says that Nina’s being smart about things.
“Nina was just in a serious relationship so she’s being careful, but Glen is the best to her and treats her so well”
That’s really good to hear.
Nina Dobrev deserves the world.
And keep in mind that these two have been super couple-y for ages.
Nina Dobrev had a La La Land-themed birthday bash back in January.
(Remember, Nina Dobrev has that skin tone because she’s Bulgarian, but she’s white, and matches the stereotype of liking La La Land)
She and Glen reenacted part of a dance from that film, and Nina posted it to Instagram.
It’s not that you can’t dance with your friends — you probably dance more with friends than with anyone else.
But not every pair of dancing friends gives off a romantic vibe like these two.
Recently, at Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich’s Idaho wedding, Nina and Glen weren’t just acting like a couple.
They engaged in some PDA.
But you don’t have to take our word, or E!‘s, or E!‘s source’s for it.
Because they took photos that went up on Twitter.
That one could almost be dismissed as affectionate friends.
(Especially if the wedding had an open bar, as all weddings should)
But no degree of openness to the bar is going to force friends to kiss or suck each other’s tongues.
Or whatever exactly it is that’s happening here.
Yeah, that looks really, really date-y.
And you know what? Good for them.
Nina Dobrev’s star might be a little brighter than Glen Powell’s.
Like, The Vampire Diaries might have been ostensibly targeted at teens, but plenty of us adults watched it.
And Nina Dobrev really showcased her acting by portraying two wildly different characters.
(Some of us may have allegedly cried when Katherine Pierce died, but let’s not name names)
Nina was also smart enough to jump ship before the series fizzled and died.
(At which point, the series had lost their hottest female and male stars — Nina Dobrev and Steven R McQueen)
And, not for nothing, but she’d had a serious breakup with costar Ian Somerhalder … even though they’re allegedly getting along great.
She’s gorgeous and she’s talented and could basically have any guy on the planet.
Seriously.
Any guy.
Admittedly, we’d hoped that she might go in a different direction when she was spotted with Ruby Rose, we’re still glad that she’s with a guy who reportedly treats her the way that she deserves.
And hey, at least she didn’t get with Scott Eastwood after looking cozy at Coachella. He kinda turned out to be a tool, unfortunately.
Nina deserves the world.

Nina Dobrev & Glen Powell: Dating!
After a tumultuous two years in both her personal and professional lives, it’s clear that 2017 will be a major comeback year for Nina Dobrev.
Dobrev is returning to The Vampire Diaries for the show’s series finale, even though it’ll mean working with her ex, Ian Somerhalder.
Sounds like a nightmare scenario, but fortunately, Nina is riding high these days, thanks to the new man in her life.
E! News is reporting today that Nina is dating actor Glen Powell.
Powell might not be a household name, but he’s drawing rave reviews for his performance in Hidden Figures, and many expect him to be the next big thing.
He’s also a regular on the Fox series Scream Queens.
We’re sure Nina isn’t the type to date a guy or not date a guy because of his star power, but with the way her last relationship publicly imploded, it must a nice confidence boost to be tied to an up-and-coming heartthrob like Powell.
In case you missed it, Dobrev and Somerhalder were romantically involved for several years, and TVD fans obsessed over their real-life romance as much as – if not more than – their onscreen love affair.
The relationship ended in ugly fashion, and Somerhalder got married to Nikki Reed (a former friend of Dobrev’s) not long after he and Nina parted ways.
Shortly after Somerhalder and Reed got engaged, Dobrev quit The Vampire Diaries, and, many believe, doomed the show to cancelation.
(In fairness, even diehard fans admit the show’s quality has dropped off precipitously in recent years.)
Dobrev has denied quitting the show as a result of her history with Somerhalder, but those in the know say she’s just covering her tracks.
“The real reason she quit was because she couldn’t stand to see costar Ian with another woman,” one insider said at the time.
“Seeing them together made it not fun to come to work at all.”
So it’s noble of Nina to come back to the show for one last go-round for the sake of the fans and her former co-stars.
We’re not saying the opportunity to throw her new relationship in Somerhalder’s face made the decision easier – but it probably didn’t hurt.
Watch The Vampire Diaries online to get caught up for the series finale.
