Posted on by

Documentary available via download from iTunes and Amazon (You will need to scroll down for the link).

The documentary special “David Cassidy: The Last Session,” intertwines an intimate biography of the late David Cassidy as told through his own words in never-before-heard audio tapes from 1976 with a raw and poignantly filmed final recording session. Grappling with the onset of dementia and headed into the studio to record a tribute to his father, Jack Cassidy, David invited a documentary film crew to chronicle the journey. During production David fell gravely and unexpectedly ill and it was during this time, he revealed to producers that his struggle with alcoholism had continued up through the recording session, and that his doctors had concluded that alcohol poisoning had likely been the chief cause of his tragic health decline, including his dementia. He would tragically pass away a few weeks later.

David Cassidy: The LAST SESSION

Posted on by

A&E recently announced a documentary about the music and life of David Cassidy, entitled David Cassidy: The LAST SESSION.   It is scheduled to air on the A&E Network on June 11 at 9PM ET/PT.

Originally, this two-hour documentary began as a broader four-part series that David was contractually and artistically committed to completing and promoting.  Unaware of the gravity of his deteriorating physical health, however, David would not live to see the completion of the project.

Above all, David was steadfast in wanting to express his profound gratitude to his many fans around the world for their unwavering and enduring support of him throughout his career.  In many respects, it is foremost through his fans that David Cassidy’s legacy lives on today.

David Cassidy and the Middle-Aged Women in Mourning

This article sums up how a lot of fans are feeling…


….
You didn’t notice us because, well, lots of people just don’t notice middle-aged women. But that lady in your office who’s sitting in her cubicle eating her microwaved lunch — she’s one of them. The lady wearing sneakers with her dress and carrying a tote bag on the metro — she’s one, too. She may be the lady at the cash register at Walmart. She could even be the woman in the board room of some Wall Street bank for all we know. But right now, we all have one thing in common: we’re in a bit of a fog. A little out of sorts. Something in our world is out of place because the teen idol we grew up worshipping is absent. A star’s light suddenly dimmed. And now everything seems off kilter.
….
Now, millions of David Cassidy fans – women roughly between 55 and 65 – are in state of loss, of confusion and mourning. Be easy on us. As the country grapples with political leaders, movie stars and Hollywood moguls who use their power to belittle, harass and abuse women, we are feeling misty for the old days when at least one of our heroes seemed to never threaten us. He made us feel respected and we trusted him. We didn’t just think we loved you, David Cassidy. We knew it.
