David Cassidy, B B King, B. B. King, B.B. King, Cassidy, Jaguares, The Fall, BB KING Photo - 21 November 2017 - David Cassidy, pop culture idol of the 1970s, died Tuesday in a Florida hospital at the age of 67. His publicist JoAnn Geffen confirmed his death, with a statement from his family. On behalf of the entire Cassidy family, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, our uncle, and our dear brother, David Cassidy. David died surrounded by those he loved, with joy in his heart and free from the pain that had gripped him for so long. Thank you for the abundance and support you have shown him these many years. He had been hospitalized for several days with organ failure. Cassidy announced his diagnosis with dementia in early 2017. He performed at the B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York in March, talking about his dementia, and said his arthritis made playing guitar an ordeal. 19 November 2017 - David Cassidy was moved to the ICU on Sunday as his condition began deteriorating. "He's in the ICU and being taken care of as best as possible right now," Cassidy's representative said.
Cassidy was suffering from organ failure and was in need of a kidney transplant when he was admitted to a Florida hospital earlier this week. The former teen heart-throb's son, Beau and his ex-wife, have been called to the hospital as the situation becomes more dire. The "Partridge Family" star is reportedly on a breathing tube. David Cassidy in critical condition with organ failure. "There's really no issue anymore for a transplant," a source said to TMZ. "It's futile." Cassidy, 67, was placed into a medically induced coma after he arrived at the hospital on Wednesday, in an attempt to control his pain, and his family was told to expect "the worst."Throughout his acting career, Cassidy struggled with alcohol abuse issues that resulted in DWIs in 2010, 2013 and 2014 and a stint in rehab. He filed for bankruptcy in 2015. Earlier this year, Cassidy stumbled off a stage while slurring his words in Southern California and later attributed the fall to dementia - a disease which also ailed his mother and grandfather. He's most widely known for his role as Keith Partridge, the eldest son on "The Partridge Family" sitcom, which aired from 1970 to 1974.
