Thank you, to each and every one of you that took the time to write messages to me when I had to cancel the two concerts in September because of a bad case of Bronchitis. I was very disappointed; I didn’t want to cancel but I was under doctor’s orders. I apologise for the inconvenience it caused people. 

I know fans have been asking how I got the scar on my arm. It happened at the same time I fell and dislocated my finger on my left hand at the baseball game but this has now healed.  Thanks for asking & caring.

I’m looking at producing a hard cover book which will be a musical autobiography; including all the great influences in my life from when I was a child, my mother, my father, my grandparents, singing in church, my teenage years, my musical influences, the partridge family and the people I worked with while on the road. I am going to include the music and the stories about the music. I want to include photographs and we are looking at including video links.  This came about because so many people have remarked with amazement about all the people I have met, all the people I’ve got to know, work with and play with.

I am also planning on putting together a US tour “David Cassidy Presents” next spring and I am just announcing it now although I don’t have dates yet. I will be performing with friends of mine.

I have been continuing to talk about Alzheimer’s. As you know this disease and the need for us all to learn more is a cause that is very dear to me.  I was recently interviewed in Care Advantage Fall 2012 magazine.

You are probably all aware that UK Legend released a song called “Sex Like David Cassidy” and you probably already know that I did a Skype interview. I really appreciate and understand that many of you love the original song. Nobody loves it and appreciates it more than I do. This song is paying homage and respect to me and to the song, that’s the way I look at it. It does get my name and music out there with a different type of audience and that’s great news. So if anybody would like to post any positive comments on any blogs out there about the song it would be appreciated.

I look forward to seeing some of you in the UK next month.

God Bless,

David.

Celebrate with David – August 26th, 2012

David will be in California for a concert on Saturday August 25th at the Sycuan Casino at El Cajon, CA. On Sunday August 26th David is going to be celebrating 50 years of friendship with Sam Hyman and 40 years of touring. If you have lunch or dinner at Sam Hyman’s restaurant Rim-Talay (“By the Sea” in Thai) in Oceanside, CA on Sunday David will be there to Meet & Greet.

To all my fans…

Thank you all for the birthday messages on my website and facebook page.  I am very grateful for your continued support and messages of love.

I am looking forward to seeing my European fans in November in the UK. Full details are here on my website. I will be visiting England at the end of the month to do a few interviews.

I want to let you all know that I’m beginning to do more, not just public, but private speaking engagements. I have thought long and hard about my efforts to bring awareness and education to the public and private sector, and am more and more convinced by peoples very positive responses that I should do as much as I feel I can do….That of course will mean a lot less performing live music, with my band, which I still love. However, every person needs to do what they feel is the right thing to do. I love giving to others. It has always made me feel great when I have given from my heart to those far less fortunate than I. I hope I will always have a chance to touch people’s lives as I have in the past. I’m truly in uncharted waters here. I hope so much that you, my fans, will understand, and help me and ALL OF US!!!! We are going to be facing an absolute epidemic of Alzheimer’s and Dementia here in the U.S., and in other parts of the world, in the next 10 to 15 years. I don’t want my children or yours to have to face the same NIGHTMARE as I have!!!!

On May 18th I will be addressing the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s Educational Conference in New York. My speech, “A Son’s Story” will be delivered during the luncheon. I encourage you all to learn as much as you can about Alzheimer’s by visiting The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s website. http://www.alzfdn.org/

God Bless
