Whereas Glen Campbell toured with Alzheimer's/dementia.
Neither right or wrong, just interesting takes on dealing with devastating illnesses by performers.

Saw him when I was a very young high school student at Clarkson’s winter weekend. He was the opening act for of all bands- The Vanilla Fudge (you keep me hanging on). The college crowd gave him a real hard time, anxious to see Vanilla Fudge. He got upset and called out one of the front seat hecklers asking him to join him on stage to sing so everyone could listen, the guy just melted and embarrassed himself as the crowd laughed . No more crap came from the crowd and by the end, they were all cheering. He was very good and within a few months was all over the tv and a well known name.
