Ghost on the Canvas
open-in-new
<p><i>Ghost on the Canvas</i> is the sixty-first album by <a href="/facts/Glen_Campbell/ulTSMNFU">Glen Campbell</a>. It was intended as Campbell's farewell studio recording following his diagnosis with <a href="/facts/Alzheimer%2527s_disease/w7Ad6tdg">Alzheimer's disease</a>. The production of the album was announced in March 2010. </p><p>Campbell and his wife delayed informing the public about his illness until shortly before he embarked on the <i><a href="/facts/Glen_Campbell_Goodbye_Tour/8BVcP9rj">Glen Campbell Goodbye Tour</a>.</i> The Campbells decided to announce his diagnosis so that audiences would understand why the performer might mistake the lyrics to songs or behave erratically. They also wished to combat the social stigma of Alzheimer's, for the benefit of others suffering from the disease. </p>
