Knoxville, Tenn.(WVLT)--Four time Grammy winner Glen Campbell
came to Maryville's Clayton Center for the Arts on his farewell tour Thursday night.
The 75-year old is even coming out with a new album.
Campbell's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, so the performance helped benefit Alzheimer's Tennessee , a local non profit that was chosen by the UT Athletic Department and Pat Summitt as one of the beneficiaries of the "We back Pat" campaign.
Kay Watson of Alzheimer's Tennessee was excited about the huge turnout. "Tonight is also about hope, hope that Glen and Pat who are really raising awareness when it comes to alzheimer's disease will help tmore research and find a cure."
Pat was not able to attend the concert, her Lady vols left for a road stint in California. UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and former Vols head football coach Phillip Fulmer were at the event.
