Coincidence the song came out right after he died?
Well yes, it was a tribute.

On another note, she looks like she lived a hard life. She looks much older than 58. Much older...

@faeriemoon @croemer Did you know she got her face terribly burned? That is why she Looks like she does.. Read this

I disagree and have another take on the whole situation. Tanya Tucker and Glen Campbell were together for a brief time considering how long he was married to his now-widow. Alzheimer's is a hideous disease, and for all we know, seeing her might have upset him. Or, perhaps it might have been that he was in no shape to have visitors, period. This whole sad loss surely should not be about Tanya's emotions. Good grief.

@SeaMaiden Oh my...I had no idea. She is lucky to be alive...let alone sing. How terrible.

I believe TT had that song waiting for a few years, waiting for his death to cash in! Just my opinion, of course, but I have no respect for her. She is the one who got him started on drugs and alcohol, from what I've heard. Thank God he found his way back and lived a good life after TT.

@NanaLinda I am pretty sure it was the other way around. I watched a video last night on YouTube, when he was on the Sally Jesse Raphael show in the early 90's and he talked about his cocaine and drug use starting in the 60's. TT was born in '59 so he was doing it way before she entered his life. He said he went to Johnny Cash for "uppers."

@croemer I agree and in TT heart she even said "I'll see you again my friend." Depending on a persons beliefs, no one will be able to stop that meeting. 🙂

I've always liked Tanya Tucker's music. Great voice and big personality! Glen Campbell has been married to his fourth wife, Kim, for thirty-five years and had three children with her. If Glen Campbell had wanted to reconcile with Tanya Tucker and/or marry her, I think he would have sometime in the last three decades. Thirty-five years of marriage with Kim says to me that Glen moved on a long, long time ago. I think I can understand why Kim wasn't interested in having Tanya or other old flames visiting him, especially in his confused state of mind. I do feel sad for Tanya, though

@Silver Lining- I agree with you. Just as Nancy Reagan kept Ronnie out of the spotlight, I am sure Kim was acting on his behalf. Weeks before his death, Kim was on a talk show and said he could not communicate any longer but still sang a little....I'm sure when he learned of his diagnosis, while still lucid, he most likely, expressed his wishes and wanted his privacy respected. He wanted to be remembered as he was. If he wanted to say goodbye to Tanya he would have done so when he could. I hate to be unkind but she is trying to relaunch her career and maybe trying to use Glen's popularity. I am a bit cynical I know but I think Kim was correct and had his best interests at heart. I'd do the same thing for someone I loved and would want that for myself as well.

I can see both sides of this story as I'm a nurse and have worked in nursing homes. This goes a lot deeper thaN Kim not letting Tanya have any contact with him, 2 of his older children were not allowed to visit him either. Why???

Tennessee passed a law called the Campbell/Falk law that now allows children to see their parents and restricts a spouse or MPOA from denying visitation. The law states as long as the relationship was in good standing prior to the person having a diagnosis then they could NOT be forbidden to visit. So I'm totally agreeing with this law. If there was some kind of really bad relationship between these older kids and Glen, then I understand her keeping him safe.

Kasey Kasum daughter has fought for these laws as well. She was not permitted by his wife to visit her dad and.. that was a big mess too.

I could not sleep or live with myself if I kept my husbands children from visiting him and knowing there was nothing wrong and I was just doing it as a power struggle. These things can come back to haunt people. Just google this topic and read about it. Also, Kim was not allowing his kids to visit him, BUT she allowed non family people to video him as he would play guitar in the facility and that makes me wonder if she was somehow making money on that? Just my opinion and thoughts!

I don't know why seeing an ex he was never married to or had any reconciliation with after all these years would be a priority for his current wife to arrange -or anyones for that matter

Glen had plenty of years in between to see her if he wanted to

To me she's just an ex girlfriend

its not really about her regardless of how much she may have loved him

he clearly moved on and didn't look back

of all of his wives Tayna didn't make the list
