Two years after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Glen Campbell recorded his final song in January 2013.
“I’m Not Gonna Miss You," a somber song with over 9 million views on YouTube, speaks about leaving his family and the devastating reality of the disease.
The lyrics include: "I'm still here, but yet I'm gone/I don't play guitar or sing my songs/They never defined who I am/The man that loves you 'til the end."
Unfortunately, the country star, whose impressive career began in the 1960s, never got the chance to play it live because of the disease's progression.
In turn, his son decided to tribute his father in a beautiful way. Shannon Campbell performed it in the attic of Campbell's home in Nashville along with a band and shared the video on YouTube.
The emotional recording touched fans across the nation and many took the time to share their thoughts.
"Great tribute to an amazing talent. I've followed Glen since his studio days back in the early sixties. I can't imagine what it must be like to not be able to play your music. He and his family as well as all of those who have Alzheimer need our prayers," one user wrote.
