Country legend Glen Campbell, whose crossover hits Gentle on My Mind, By the Time I Get to Phoenix and Rhinestone Cowboy forged a lasting bridge between country and pop music, died Tuesday. He was 81.
In 2011, Campbell announced he had been diagnosed with Alzheimers disease and mounted a well-publicized farewell tour. His official Twitter posted the news.
