David Cassidy died in Florida on Tuesday, November 21, days after he was admitted to hospital suffering organ failure, Us Weekly can confirm.
It seems as if all the songs on my ITunes playlist are sung by those who have died, dying, or have married their longtime partners/companions.
Rest In Peace, David. I Cherish the memories.
Prayers for your BIL and family.
Me too, him and Donny!
It was my Ovaltine moment
All time best and know and feel exactly what you said with this
Prayers for your brother-in-law and the family.
Me too. I still have the metal Partridge Family metal lunchbox with its thermo in very good condition. I love his songs that he sang on the show.
RIP David
Best wishes to your BIL.
Cassidy also had dementia, so that may have weighed in on what rank or if he was even on the transplant list.
Alcoholics have to be sober 6 months to be eligible, I think he was but dunno.
RIP, my younger Sister idolized him in her youth.

The Partridge Family {a studio band except for Cassidy and Jones} came about from another family that in fact were skilled musicians. It was loosely based on The Cowsills another group of that ear who did their own singing and instruments as they grew up. The Cowsills was started by three brothers and sibblings joined as they got older. They turned down the show because the network had already casted Shirley Jones as the mother and they wanted Barbara Cowsill. As a result they turned down doing the show.
God rest his Soul.
We all did stupid stuff when we were young.
The Rain, The Park & Other Things was one of the great pop songs of that era. I often wonder what the Partridge Family would have been like had they decided to do that show.
Rest in Peace, David. Prayers to his family. You are getting old when TV stars of your youth are dieing...:-(
If you are rich you will get a liver transplant no matter what, if you are an alcoholic, crack addict or even have cancer. If you got the money they will get you a liver. Look at crack addict and constant Trump basher David Crosby. He said he smoked so much crack that the cocaine crystals started forming under his skin. He gets a new liver. Or John Philips of the Mamas and Papas, he said he did heroin and cocaine every 15 minutes for 2 years as well as alcohol. Gets a new liver no problem, and not only that, a week after getting out of the hospital they caught him at the bar drinking. When they asked what he was doing he said “Breaking in the new liver”. And then you get to Mickey Mantle, hard core alcoholic and he gets a new liver only he also had cancer but they gave him the new liver ANYWAY.
I thought he played the guitar?
Shirley Jones is his mother and she’s still alive.
At age 68 you should have outlived about 23% of your cohorts.
