Having spent many months working extensively with people with dementia, I can say with complete honesty that I felt genuine sadness as I read this.

I read about this a day or so ago… tragic for anyone to go though :-(

So sad.

Such a cruel disease, really awful, it put's into perspective how fragile things are.

61 as well, that's still young in my book.

Deadman

Aw crap man. I used to idolise him as a kid and thought he looked ultra cool on the sleeve of my HTH album.

I've seen this 1st hand and it's very difficult when they don't know who you are. I think 61 could be classed as early on set too.

This is both absolutely heartbreaking and terrifying. I pray that one day we will have the means to beat or reverse this horrendous disease.
