    David Cassidy, Singer and 'Partridge Family' Teen Idol, Dead at 67

    David Cassidy, the musician, actor and Partridge Family teen idol, died Tuesday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 67.

    Cassidy's representative Jo-Ann Geffen confirmed his death, saying, "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."

    Cassidy was recently admitted into a Florida hospital in critical condition after suffering from liver and kidney failure. At the time, Geffen said, "He is conscious and surrounded by family and friends, nothing is imminent and we are taking it day by day." She added that doctors were keeping Cassidy "as well as they can until they can find another liver."

    Earlier in the year, Cassidy revealed that he was battling the early stages of dementia, an illness both his mother and grandfather suffered from. Cassidy's admission came after video emerged of the singer struggling to remember lyrics and stumbling around the stage during a California concert.

    "I was in denial, but a part of me always knew this was coming," Cassidy said of the diagnosis, which forced him to cease touring. "I want to focus on what I am, who I am and how I've been without any distractions. I want to love. I want to enjoy life."

    I felt a certain sadness at his passing. He wasn’t one of my teen idols (I was heavy into the J-5 at that time), but I always liked him.
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.
