Singer Andy Williams has returned home to spend his final days with his family after doctors told him they can do nothing more to treat his bladder cancer.
The Moon River crooner, 84, is now at his Branson, Missouri, home surrounded by his wife, children and friends.
He has asked them to remember the good times and the music he has created over a career that has last three-quarters of a century.
'They are all desperately sad to see their father suffer,' a source told the Sunday Express. 'But he has told them all not to cry for him and remember him when he has gone through the music he has loved all his life.'
Williams announced he was suffering from bladder cancer onstage at a show at the Moon River Theater in Branson last December.

Sad. What an amazing life he’s led. May the Lord welcome him home with open arms.

He's a good man. Glenn Beck has had him on his radio show around Christmas for the last few years.
Godspeed, Andy. You were always one of my mom's favorite voices, and you'll be a part of every Christmas for me.

Andy is one of the great ones... one of the last of a fading breed.
God bless him and welcome him home whenever his time comes.

Serious question. Why is it sad? He's 84, has had a good career, much success..will die at home, surrounded by his family..I'd happily sign up for that right now. We shold celebrate a life well lived..not mourn it.
BTW..is is ex wife still in jail for murdering her boyfriend? I have one of her LPs in the attic somewheres..

In my opinion, the Andy Williams Show and the Dean Martin Show were the best two shows of that type ever to be on Television. Both men were great personalities and loved by their audiences.

Just sad for me as well. Mom loved his music. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without her playing that album every holiday season.
