David Cassidy, ‘Partridge Family’ Star, Dies at 67
(http://pmcvariety.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/rexfeatures_43135a.jpg?w=1000&h=560&crop=1)
David Cassidy, pop culture idol of the 1970s, has died as a result of complications from dementia. The musician and actor was 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.
With pretty-boy good looks and a long mane of dark hair, Cassidy was one every girl’s favorite teen crush in the early 1970s and drew screaming crowds at concert appearances. David Cassidy was part of a showbusiness family that included his father, Tony-winning actor Jack Cassidy, stepmother Shirley Jones, half-brother Shaun Cassidy and daughter, actress Katie Cassidy.
David Cassidy Hospitalized With Organ Failure
Raised in New Jersey, Cassidy moved to Los Angeles in 1969 after starring in a Broadway musical that closed after only four performances. In 1970, after signing with Universal, Cassidy took on the role of older brother Keith Partridge in “The Partridge Family.” Keith was the son of Shirley Partridge, who was played by Jones.
The ABC sitcom was loosely based on real-life family musical act the Cowsills, and ran from 1970 to 1974. The show became popular for its squeaky queen portrayal of life on the road as a family rock band in a brightly painted bus. In addition to Cassidy and Jones, “The Partridge Family” starred Susan Dey, Danny Bonaduce and Suzanne Crough as the family’s other children, and Dave Madden as manager Ruben Kincaid.
Cassidy and Jones were the only cast members who were allowed to actually sing; the other kids lip-synced, while the Wrecking Crew provided musical backup. Theme song “C’mon Get Happy” became one of TV’s most enduring songs, and helped launch Cassidy’s musical career.
After the singles “I Think I Love You” and “Cherish” took off, Cassidy began working on solo albums as well. He regularly sold out stadiums, leading to commentators to coin the phrase “Cassidymania.” Several of his shows resulted in riots or mass hysteria, including one notable 1974 performance in Australia, which garnered calls for Cassidy to be deported from the country.
At a 1974 London concert, nearly 800 people were injured in a stampede at a Cassidy concert, and one teenage girl died a few days later. He stopped touring and acting soon after, concentrating on recording, and had a hit with “I Write the Songs” before Barry Manilow made it part of his act.
In musical theater, he performed in “Little Johnny Jones,” “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” “Time” and “Blood Brothers” and created the Vegas shows “The Rat Pack is Back” and “At the Copa.”
Cassidy was Emmy nominated for a guest role on a “Police Story” episode “A Chance to Live.” NBC based the series “David Cassidy – Man Undercover” on the segment, but it lasted just one season. He also made guest appearances on shows including “Fantasy Island,” “The Love Boat” and “Tales of the Unexpected.”
In the decades that followed, Cassidy continued to perform in Las Vegas and tour. At later shows, Cassidy was known for participating in Q&A sessions at his concerts. He also played the manager of Aaron Carter’s character in the 2005 film “Popstar” and starred with half-brother Patrick in “Ruby and the Rockits,” created by his half-brother Shaun.
But he struggled with achieving his peak fame early in life, dealing with alcoholism and being arrested several times for DUIs. He filed for bankruptcy in 2015.
He is survived by half-brothers Shaun Cassidy, actors Patrick and Ryan; daughter Katie Cassidy and son, actor Beau Cassidy.

Use to watch the show as a kid, had one of their albums. At one time I wanted to be him, for about the last 15 years he probably wanted to be me. :)

David Cassidy, ‘Partridge Family’ Star, Dies at 67

David Cassidy, pop culture idol of the 1970s, has died as a result of complications from dementia. The musician and actor was 67.
RIP Keith, but no.
Liver went kaput, needed a transplant. Then his kidneys failed. Dementia kills organs? Dude drank himself to death, c'mon now.

RIP, David.

Can't argue with that

"It's called frontotemporal dementia, named after the parts of the brain that it attacks -- the upper lobes of the front part of the organ. Alzheimer's, by comparison, affects the entire brain.
And while people with Alzheimer's disease suffer progressive loss of memory and ability to function, those with frontotemporal dementia may act wildly and bizarrely, veering into theft, sexual deviancy and other uncontrolled acts, according to experts.
"We know that many of these patients are said to be crazy and wind up in jail rather than in a hospital," said Dr. John Q. Trojanowski, director of the University of Pennsylvania Institute on Aging.
And the condition is a killer, according to a study in the current issue of the journal Neurology to which Trojanowski contributed. The study found that people who had frontotemporal dementia died much faster than those with Alzheimer's disease."
Who knew... but then again, I suspect it may have contributed but the man was a stone cold alcoholic

You only wrote that because it’s true. How the hell are you, by the way? :)
Very good singer, but the arrangements of his albums were very much of the day, making them kitschy now.
Step-mom Shirley Jones wrote that her first husband, Jack Cassidy, was well-endowed (no homo), but that Jack’s son, David, was better blessed (no-no homo).

@Vincenzo - If you had to fuck one of these gentlemen and blow the other, which would it be?

Contrary to popular belief, size of penis does not seem to correlate with personal contentment or stability.

I think popular belief seems to indicate people with large cocks tend to end up with a screw loose.

I read her autobio and was semi-tumescent throughout. Your answer lies between the pages.
Pix for consideration:

So sorry to hear the Motörhead dude was ignored here ...... I'm sure someone will start a thread full of pics of him. Hold on buddy , stay strong.

When this pic was taken David was a God among young women.... Arnold was just a weightlifter from CA area.
Back in the 70s a Twink with a lot of hair was the ideal

From a friend of mine in the know - “Apparently Cassidy’s old house was sold to a doctor who bought it furnished with all of Cassidy’s memorabilia and he left it that way and markets it on airbnb as a museum... basically a nice place to go whack it to Cassidy pics and guitars.”
You’re welcome Cassidy schmoes.

I think popular belief seems to indicate people with large cocks tend to end up with a screw loose.
Now you know where my losse screws come from chief
Btw, is Cassidy an Irish or a Scottish surname?

Hope he managed to fuck his dopey eyed sister Susan on the PF.

RIP

Well i remember he was popular, very. Yet not for his music. Comparing him with the Beatles and Elvis is laughable at best. Elvis was and is the single most selling solo artist if all time with nearly or just over one billion units sold, same with the Beatles. By the 1970s Elvis had 2 decades of stardome under his belt and was waining in star power. That being said, in the list of top 100 charted artists of the 1970s Elvis ranked #8 with 26 total hits and 274 weeks on the charts. The number one recording artist of the 1970s was Sir Elton John with 26 hits and 338 weeks on the charts. David Cassidy? Well he did not make the list for recording artists.
He was more known for his looks and puppy love from the girls. His fan club was based on that.

Washup.

Dude drank himself to death, c'mon now.
so the dwarf drank himself into oblivion... good for him. booze = happiness for some people... tru bliss - fuker found lightning in a bottle.. and every bottle after that, too

You incorrigible fags! Wasting words on dainty David, when one of your own, the daring Dmitri, has forever left behind the clanging of plates and snug, leather pants.

So Elvis and the Beatles both "was and is the single most selling solo artists if all time"?
Interesting.

Another timeless hit. :-\

Not what i meant. The Beatles sold around the same as Elvis. My point was Elvis the most as a solo artist, the beatles as a group. David Cassidys record sales are not so easily found as his numbers are extremly low when compared to Elvis or the Beatles.
