What Kind of life is that? It gives us such beautiful, talented and charismatic People, who gave us so much, and we have to watch how they are destroyed by it ... R.I.P. David Cassidy ... May the angels in heaven hold you in their arms and heal your beautiful soul
He drove drunk intoxicated he could have killed people when he was driving the car and toxicated he was a very selfish man you should be ashamed of himself
I was about 10 years old when David Cassidy found fame. I didn't understand the impact that must have had on him and how out of control he must have felt at the time but I do now. It must have been so lonely being that famous and not having that one person to help and to guide you when you can't even walk quietly down the street. That must impact on your whole future life because nothing can be normal after that craziness. I sincerely hope he is at peace now and that his family are proud of the mark he made.
Wow. This guy was tortured by his fame. What a damn shame. He deserved better. He really did make an impression in American culture. And his music was excellent!
David I would love you through thick and thin and try my best to help you, even if it meant intervention. I would not stop until you were well again. We all miss you and wish you were still here, in a healthy body and mind.
I saw career moves with David Cassidy on U Tube a couple of days ago, I thought he played that part very well. He was very talented. I wonder if they are going to show it again. He had so much talent. RIP.
Thanks for sharing this. I had never seen it and this interview - like so many others I have watched since he died - reveals how hard the rise and fall of the Partridge family fame really was for him. As I have stated before, he was an incredibly sensitive soul, one that was not built for the Hollywood machine that builds you up and then spits you out. That experience, combined with his childhood wounds and his innate temperament created the thing that I see most clearly now: the pain that beautiful smile could not hide. He is now in a place where he is pain free and singing with angels. RIP you beautiful soul.
I hate the term "has been." I never understand how a human being can be labeled this way! I find this interview is much too deep for the interviewer. I loved David, and feel SO much pain for him. If he hadn't abused alcohol, and sought therapy (perhaps he did?), he could have dealt with some of his demons.
In many interviews David mentions he went through 5 years of therapy, 3 days per week. Can you imagine the hard work he put into his recovery to find himself after being portrayed as Keith Partridge for so long? Inevitably David was successful in re-establishing his own identity once again. Brilliant how he did it, I think. It takes a lot of guts to walk away from it all, but as he further explained, he never lost the tag of being famous; he always had that. It was ultimately his decision when he would pick up as himself, David Cassidy, and continue his dream as an actor, singer--performing his choice of music and living the rock and roll life that he craved and did so well. Then to magnify his talents that lead him to star in musicals, Broadway shows and stylized concerts--not to mention songwriter for others. David truly was quite exceptional in his talents. However, no matter how much therapy or 'happy ' he had in his life, afflictions followed him, tormented him, and he was human after all, we all can only take so much--death of parents, divorces, ill health, etc. Weakens one's spirit. Despite it all, David was truly dedicated to his fans and never gave up on all of us. A piece of me died when he did. I shall miss him greatly. Thank you sweet David for bringing so much happy into our lives through your voice, your music your smile. God bless you! 💙❤💗
Raechelle Bennett I agree with everything you said about David Cassidy. May he, finally, RIP. He certainly does deserve it. I will love & miss him always. 😭💔🎸💖
Was there an Alfred Hitchcock episode in which David Cassidy played a role? Was it ever aired? When? Any video of it on RUclips? Can the person who has the clip post it? Puhleeeeeeze
David's father was terribly jealous of his fame. How could he feel good about himself when his own father was in competition with him. He didn't really have a father (a role model), so I think David is painfully insecure.
Does anyone know where I can find the interview David did with jack cassidy on the merv griffin show ? I know only the audio exists . I've heard it before, but now can't find it. They sang Danny boy together and that's all n his website , but not the interview. It was episode 241 season 8 8-26-1971. Thx! Would love to hear it again.
According to reports, the mother didn't tell, the daughter, about David being her father, until 2015,16? Until then, she was led to believe, that her dad was someone else, a country artist, only to find out, it wasn't so. The woman does look like, she could be Katie's older sister; that, doesn't mean, she's related to David. A DNA test would have to be done. I think, there might be a test, w/out using a father's DNA. A relative of David's would have have to submit a sample. I don't think, David would purposely not acknowledge any child of his.

That's not true, he's NOT bipolar! Thanks to his wife , Sue, he got a good therapist, to come to terms w/ his parents deeds and the way they weren't close with him. He mostly suffered from that neglect, though they had no ill intentions, just had to work all the time, (both were actors) . He's been diagnosed with dementia in 2015, so it has been affecting him a few years b4 that. (When ppl said his behavior was alcohol induced). So let's NOT play internet therapists! He now needs all his fans & his Family to support him in this difficult time. I'm going to be pulling for him, and truly wish him well. My Family and I enjoyed him both on the PF show and all his other roles, B'way , LasVegas, & all his music. He'll always be tops as far as great voice and showmanship. He also truly likes his audiences and thrives on their good vibes and good wishes. Go David!
Carolyn Nigro Why would you think that? From this interview he is quite cognizant and speaks well with calm and insightful outlooks on various situations.

A rare interview. It must have been hell. He must have felt sooo lost and lonely after coming down from that incredible fame.
.In retrospect, this is an eerie interview.
Never a has been in my heart, David. God Bless you, David Bruce Cassidy.❤️
Thanks, Jennifer. You are making many fans of David very happy by sharing these gems!
This is a very good interview, David speaks more honestly/ a true survivor! Love it!
I know you went thru a lot....but we as fans, appreciated the fun and music you gave us...and now you ve went to the other side...god bless...david]
He looks like he's going to burst into tears. Difficult days then.
Lovely image and a splendid interview of DC! Thank you dcfan:-}
Millions love him, the one he wanted to love him was his father.
He's real quick to say I'm still famous! Lol
Gideonann well he is....
Now the dementia from his Mom's side....Please take care of yourself... rely on those half brothers and friends.

Rose Petal ... Yes, at the urging of his now ex-wife, Sue Schrifner, he did go into therapy for quite a while and said that it helped.

Sorry David for ever being jealous of you and hope you have forgiving me..... .. R. I. P
love, lov
Awww, you're welcome!!:):):)
Yes he does, glad u like. :)
He has certainly inherited his father's drinking and he has also think I fear his father's bipolar too, I feel sorry for him.
shut up
He was very sad and miss i.hope he knows were he is now in heaven
I love his hair. I agree that it was extremely rude to say "has been". Right at the beginning of the interview too.
God why has he gone so some should not have
when was this filmed? he seems so sad and tentative...
You're welcome!!!!:):):)
He looks like Tom Hulce here!
He should have gone into seclusion WITHOUT the drugs and alcohol.
but why does it look like there is a streak down the bridge of his nose? Bad makeup, or bad lighting? Such a nice face though!
It’s just an artifact from the old tape. There’s not really a streak on his nose.
Star killed him
Any who he has another daughter he doesn't acknowledge. Read full article on radar online. David cassidy secret love child.
Greg Allman too.
Reportedly Barry Williams had a daughter he does not want to pay for.
Gideonann the mother was nuts...more to the story...quit depending on gossip columns for your facts.

He was great......she was annoying.
I think he inherited his father's bipolar disorder. Poor guy.
That's exactly what I feel...
