David was a class act...RIP brother....
I watched the BBC interview from 1972 and now this interview. It's heartbreaking
I’m glad he was able to stay healthy long enough to take care of his mother.
She was in a facility!
@@oneseeker2 yeah, I didnt really believe that to any great extent. I dont think he is really that selfless.
Great talent, good guy, with some issues. The hateful comments about him are unjustified. Mirrors, people!
it is tragic he wasn't able to face his alcoholism and get the help he needed , but it must have been to bigger mountain to overcome..so sad to see the deterioration........
Well said Teresa. Such a talent. Brave, gone too soon.
some issues? he has dementia. and who is writing hateful comments, I see only positive comments.
My mom had dementia. It is the saddest, most heartbreaking disease. You watch your loved one slowly slip away.
Encephalopathy, cirrhosis of the liver.
Complicated by dementia, which is written in the DNA, plus his father was bipolar according to Shirley .
So, David (health -wise) was dealt a lousy hand
But that voice. What a gift. I'm a vocalist & for me , David is one of the two top male vocalists of the latter 20 th century.
Truthfully, he was sick for a long time, I can see it beginning, as far back as '92. But the genius -level vocals , charisma, and a heart of gold, covered up the illness.
Who’s your other top male vocalist? Just curious ❤
Agree...His partridge family voice was crystal ..Many say Journey lead singer Steve Perry had one of the best male voices but David Cassidy's was better. God Bless him
@@meltheartist1147
Steve Perry is noted but imo Cassidy was better
RIP David, I had one of your jackets in elementary school, such a heartthrob of the 70’s❤️❤️
May he R.I.P
I loved him so much when I was a kid
As did I: he was my big brother Keith.
RIP David Cassidy. I always remmber him .
RIP my precious David
BEAUTIFUL SOUL
💔💔💔 Poor guy:'( It's hard watching everyone you grew up with, family, friends, celebrities - dying one by one until it's your turn. 😢
I'm a male and loved this man
Me too bro. He was the kind of guy every other guy wished to be.
@@eyecomeinpeace2707 Sorry, that was Elvis Presley.
@@king77703 Yup I loved him too. He ranks waaaaaaaay up there. I used to attend Elvis Presley festivals up here in Collingwood, Ontario every summer.
I’m a male and love Rod,Marvin,Frank too, what’s your point about David,heterosexual twice married the best voice ever.😊
God bless David rest In peace.
I worked with David in the broadway musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Talented man.
LOVE YOU DAVID 💞💞💞👍
David may YOUR MOTHER r.i,
,P. LOVE IS ALL MAY SHE REST IN PEACE IN HEAVEN 💞💞💞💞🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💞
Very sad such a talent with a really lovely singing voice. RIP❤
It's stunning how young David still looked in his 60s. Obviously he was dying his hair, but went to his grave looking youthful. He had some great genes!
It's crazy that I askedfor help to Dr. Phil in 2918 with no assistance. Thanks Dr. Phil, had my past been dealt with, I could have been there for him. Then it peaked my curiosity about the role in my past for Jackson Brown. Big mistake but truth still the same.💫 THANKS AGAIN DR PHIL. Yes he was gone already but I could have learned that which was hidden. We thought alike if both contacted your show online. Brilliant psychology, I'd say. My situation wasn't important to your show. My story wasn't the norm, your researchers would have learned.
Severe Alcoholism did David in. If only he could have stopped. I have always been a fan and love the guy. Its really sad. RIP David Cassidy
Gawd, I am the same age he was and look nothing like that. He was a real mess. Very sad.
God Bless you,I pray that you have peace in your ❤️
I’m a transplant nurse, he didn’t have dementia, he had encephalopathy. Encephalopathy is a condition whereby, the bile from the liver gets into the brain tissues. This effects memory. His liver was failing from alcoholism.
Isn’t that a form of dementia?
Poor David
He drank until the end, when he was too sick to drink anymore.
His color isn’t normal-it would make sense that his liver was failing
It's Wernicke -Korsakoff Syndrome, which is a form of dementia. A thiamine deficiency from alcohol use.
It is now gone that he lied about dementia. He was covering up for his addiction. So sad he couldn't just be honest. He was a heartthrob.
He didn’t lie.
@@lizadivine3785 ....yes he did.....he was a chronic alcoholic....
Yes, he did. He didn’t have dementia, he was an alcoholic.
@@princhipessa1969 he had wet brain alcohol induced dementia also known in medical terms as the wernicke korsakoff syndrome. I work addiction and recovery.
@@lizadivine3785in his last documentary, his doctor was on film telling him he did not have dementia. She did say that it was alcohol related. But, “you do not have dementia…” He was visibly shocked. But, could have been pretty he shocked.
I met David and his then wife "Sue" when I was working in Vegas on several occasions. His wife seemed like a great person and down to earth, hated to hear it did not work out, I think due to David's alcoholism. It seemed there was a curse almost from Jack Cassidy's side of the family, they were good people, just had some demons.
Id' say your're right. Jack Cassidy had also been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder years before He passed away. His wife Shirley Jones had come to the point She could no longer deal with the bi-polar disorder syptoms, hence they divorced in 1974-75 I think. It was also noted that schizophrenia might well be part of Jack's diagnosis's too. One thing i'm sure about is i'm very sadden that, Jack and David have passed away too, soon. Rest peacefully Father & Son.
ppl make choices no need to blame others as an excuse for your behavior
family tadition lol grow up
@@toddrivera1784 Addictions are often caused by other peoples behaviors namely your parents behaviors towards their children when you are growing up. I recommend watching Dr. Gabor Mate's videos on youtube who explains it very well.
I would say you know nothing about family trauma and it's influence on addictions and mental health issues.
Jack was a good person?
We call it wet brain here in Ireland. It's alcohol related. It's similar to dementia but not. It's a terrible thing.
Dementia is not caused by alcohol.
That's right it's Wet Brain. Sad
He looks horrible here!! Being honest
Godblessyoudavidforeverbeautifulheartbeautifulpersonangelforever
Cassidy - whose mother had Alzheimer's - confesses, “I did it to myself, to cover up the sadness and the emptiness. There is no sign of me having dementia at this stage of my life. It was complete alcohol poisoning. And the fact is, I lied about my drinking.”
The end of his life he was a pure bullshitter. He sounds drunk here. SMH…
But then the capacity for denial is so very strong...
Hard to watch. Must. Have been difficult for David. Love u David 💕 💕 X X
Wish you could have helped him Dr. Phil. It does no good to see him this way. Wish you had not posted this.
I prefer to remember him at his best. Awesome talent, gorgeous face and smile; and of course those dreamy eyes.
RIP Sweet David. We all seccum to something in this world. Love you anyway. 💖🌹💖
Most fans want to remembers their celebrities hea!thy and happy. That is sad he lied, and did not get help in time. He was before my time, I was a preschooler when the PF premiered. It really shocked me to learn he destroyed his kidneys and liver. May he RIP, and good luck to the next generation of Cassidy performers. I still get a kick out if watching the PF. Cool to know a new generation enjoys it.
Cassidy didn't die of dementia, it was cirrhosis. Hepatic encephalopathy is a symptom, and it mirrors dementia.
Exactly. "Wet brain".
My sister had this. She died of multiple complications from alcoholism 3 days before her 50th birthday.
Alcoholic dementia is very real and different to encephalopathy.
Sad... Cherished Memories 🎶🎶. GOD doth not give the Spirit of Fear.. But. Of Love Power and a Sound Mind🙏
RIP
He had wet brain. It is a form of dementia That's for sure. As a CNA Ive seem it. But it is induced by excessive drinking. And it's nasty way to go out. I hope David has finally found his peace
Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome. Yep.
He suffered from chronic ethanol poisoning, not dementia. It doesn't take a wise, old doctor to figure that out.
Sad David was not happy about and not able to embrace Keith...
So sad he was lying the whole time because he was battling his acholisism but when you're in attic ur in denial it's a very shame
He was an alcoholic.....but somehow he thought the public might have more empathy if he was described as having ‘dementia’.
Alcohol is sometimes a slow process to pickle a person's brain.
The guy really did not age much until his 50s and then seemed to become old over night.
Dr Phil once again using his show in almost a “freak show” way….seriously unprofessional. I truly felt so much empathy for David Cassidy while watching this. May he Rip. Dr Phil did the same thing with Shelly Duvall. I have no respect for Dr Phil.
Good you are correct agree with all you said .
Dr. Phil should be ashamed of himself.
@@anna-mariewilson8368 Yes, he should be. But he's not.
so sad
What was the reason for the open shirt....
I thought the same thing… unflattering.
Met David at Saratoga race track at the horse sale very nice man God Rest His Soul. Lonewolf West Seneca ny
Why would he go on Dr Phil. Dr Phil exploits and is awful.
Davids Mother was so beautiful I wonder if she had substance abuse problems also.
I think he had his mother's eyes. Addictions seem to be a hazard of the entertainment world.
I wish they had not posted this. It does no good to see him this way.
But as much as he was idolized, he was only human. I prefer to remember his better days; his awesome talent, gorgeous face and smile; and of course those dreamy eyes. RIP Sweet David 💖🌹💖
No, but she did have Alzheimer’s, and David has spoken about that before. Why he said it wasn’t idk…but I’m pretty sure Dr Phil knew the truth.
The alcohol killed him
sad he died Nov 2017
Alcohol 🍷
Alcoholics lie to save themselves. Sad
He didn’t have dementia it was alcohol
So traurig…Ihn hat sein Talent, seine Schönheit und Berühmtheit nicht glücklich gemacht. RIP
The state of the seating, makes the guests seem like hobbits
I hear you David I don't know if that's true but I forget stuff all the time can I remember stuff when I was 3 years old sometime and other times I don't so I don't think that's a dementia I just think that people go to different changes according to their memories and what they're doing in their life right now are we having a good brain doesn't mean remembering every damn thing especially in the world we live in today and forgetting it's actually a normal things specially when you're busy or you're relaxing also you can forget just because you feel very calm that doesn't mean you're stupid that doesn't mean you have the man just b*******
Showing a lot of jaundice then - liver disease took him shortly after
❤️😰🙏
Those chairs seem too big.
I wonder if Dr. Phil knew that he was being bullshitted, or did he fall for the lies like most of his fans did…
Looks like the good dr didn't really care. He didn't have David on to help him, he had him on for the views David would get him.
"Dr" phil is a shameless shill.
Dr. Phil probably had his suspicions, I don't think too much gets past him.
iv a theory when somthing happens in your life thats trumatic you put up a barier and from that moment nothhing can penatrate through to you to sink in .thats why every thing that happend to you before you can recall without much effort.get over your trumour your memory will improve .
Bt he lied about the dementia! IT was alcoholism. RIP David!
Or at least THAT'S not why he collapsed on stage in Feb.2017.
He looked like a little leprechaun
He made his bed with all the drinking and not getting help, may he RIP
You probably didn't know what he was going through at the time he was drinking. This world is cruel and cold.....
@@allenlevelle I had a drinking problem too and I overcame it, sober for over 2 years now
@@Lordmij Congratulations
@@Lordmij Then you should have some compassion for other alcoholics. I saw where he did try and get help but most addicts relapse that's why addiction is such a baffling thing. Yes his drinking did kill him but what caused him to want to drink and numb out? I think it had to do with his dad's behavior towards him growing up. Most peoples addictions are caused by people trying to use a person, place or thing to numb out pain.
@@brianwalsh1401 no excuse, lack of will power. If one knows how alcohol can effect the human body then why not stop. He took the easy way out, sorry buddy
He looks tiny in that big chair
how does he know he has dementia...if he has dementia?
At least he doesn't have dementia.
So sad dr phil is a quack buying this dementia bs
@@kimberlyhalloran5724 Dr Phil wasn’t buying any of it….you can tell, and also I’ve seen the entire show. His mother did die from complications of Alzheimer’s so he was lying about that and Dr Phil knew that as well.
In the early stages you often know your memory is going.
alcohol brain rot....imho.@@kimberlyhalloran5724
I think Joe Biden has it too. Anyone agree?
Really? How low can you go….
Joe is a pedo that acts like he has dementia to avoid jail
Man, he messed himself up. And his voice! Omg sounds awful! Alcohol destroys life.
My mum ❤ to not good at all to see
He is drunk here....he self destructed so sad
He is drunk now
He drinks like a fish
I wonder if Doctor Phil can smell the booze on his breath in this interview?
What a drunk joke !!!!
Nothing funny about this you simp :(
Wow....who did he hurt???
Having a lack of compassion for people says a lot about you.
So sad
