David Cassidy Marlene Habib

Millions around the world feel as if they've just gone nine rounds - physically and emotionally battered while waiting to hear if he'd pull through. Word leaks out that David Cassidy is in a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., hospital - the same David Cassidy who for years turned the music world on its head, and otherwise innocent and subdued souls into screaming messes. But this is 2017 - not the 1970s - and the uber-talented singer-actor is fighting for his life, less than a year after bravely announcing his dementia diagnosis and battle. Then, the dreaded news: We lost David Cassidy - the sweet and loving man who sold out stadiums and arenas, broke music records and had more fans at one time than Elvis and the Beatles. How did it get to this point? Why couldn't they get a life-saving liver? His last public music performance, in his birthplace of New York City, was supposed to be his transition into finally taking care of himself. But on Nov. 21, 2017, it would be far from the Last Kiss for David Cassidy - the fans and others he knew he loved wouldn't let it be. So they sought to right a horrible wrong - on a mission that took them to the horse breeding and racing hub of Saratoga Springs, N. Y. for months until that final goodbye. On Sept. 1, 2018, DC's final goodbye would be on the racecourse where he watched his precious horses gallop, his guardian angel waiting in the wings. And the honours didn't stop on the track - in his beloved U. K., a tribute like no other occurs, showing "Blood Brothers" and sisters go beyond the theatre.
