Fan’s letter to David

Dearest David.

You used to write us letters. They are on the website, the testimony of how you cared about us, your fans. You wrote about your plans, upcoming concerts, your concern when something happened like 9/11 or Katrina, about the importance of being respectful and kind to each other and how you were overwhelmed by our support and loyalty. Now we are writing letters to you.

The world has changed so much since you have gone. We’ve had to learn new terms like Covid and social distancing, and recently, we repeat in every language another word: ‘war’. Love and Peace meant a lot for you. You would have been devastated and tried to help.

It’s hard, but we’ve had to say goodbye to some people you worked with, who were your friends: The Partridge Family’s creator Bernard Slade, The Partridge Family’s producer and director Bob Claver and Hal Blaine, a legendary drummer who played on every Partridge Family’s track. Also, to fans like Danny Calvagna who loved playing your songs.

We are older now, and have old and new personal problems, but one thing has not changed – Our love for you and our pride of being your fans.

April 12th, 2022. – the next birthday without you. You would be 72 years old. This year, that day will be bitter-sweet. We are still so sad and it’s still so difficult to come to terms that you are not here, in this world. And sweet because of your Las Vegas Star. It’s our gift for you from all the fans, all over the world. It wasn’t easy, and we are very grateful for many wonderful people who worked so hard and made it happen.

For a few years in the 90s you were the biggest Las Vegas star, in the city which is called The Entertainment Capital of the World. The biggest American stars performed there, also artists important to you, like Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra. You became one of them, a legend of Las Vegas. We think you would have been happy having a star there.

Finally, we thank you. You entertained us, helped us through difficult times, inspired musicians and you continue to affect our lives. We also thank you for the friendships from around the world that have developed because of you.

Weronika and Jane on behalf of all fans.

David’s Official Website

Thank you to all the fans that continue to contribute photos, articles etc to the website. Together we are making this a comprehensive collection to showcase David’s talents, legacy and what he meant to his fans. Contributions can be sent to jane@davidcassidy.com

As the blog part of the website was designed many years ago there have been some issues with the comments facility in the blog section. Consequently the theme (design of the front page and blog comments) has had to be changed to allow new and old comments by fans to be visible. This may again change in the coming weeks as things are modified.
