He had a spiritual experience that brought him to his knees....Made him believe in The Higher Power...God... Hope to see you in Heaven David💕✝️💕✝️. .. Alcohol has ruined so many families. My mom was an alcoholic, 25 years in AA, she never stopped smoking...45 days b4 she passed on to heaven, she gave her life to Jesus, while on life support in the hospital...LIFE!?! Our lives Can Be Lived Well, Trying To Do The Right Thing 👍 How We Treat🎉 People shows our Respect for others...Having a Relationship with God.. we will spend Eternal Life in Heaven...see ya David🎉

I see a very damaged angry man. Living life thru a character he played for handful of yrs that he couldn't shake.

That's the point, we are all flawed. His were magnified because of his celebrity. Hope he's found the peace that evaded him in life. 💔🙏

Amen

he was very nice

Amen. It was a powerful interview. Bravo.

Piers Morgan is a gentleman, I will never understand his relationship with Donald Trump.

@@muxux4 I don't know why he gets a bad rap from loads of people, he seems very empathetic and sincere in this interview, I've seen far worse.

+Jenny Purcell So honest he fled the scene of an MVA because he was driving with a suspended license! He's an enormous talent, but the guy has issues.

Don't we all!!!

+Jenny Purcell 1969 wow that's amazing!

Sheena Colbourne wow you are a fake

So what that he had issues! Many people do. To open up and be so personal now about those issues has to be hard and he gave us many happy moments when he was younger.

Rose Petal .... definitely baring his soul, being straight-up honest, you can't ask for any more than that. He cared about people he wanted to help people. But he needed somebody to help him. I hope his ex-wife is happy with all of his money now, after she ruined David mentally and emotionally. He had a really tough life, and I am in tears as I type this. Rest in peace dear David. We will never forget you and your songs will live on forever.

How did she ruined David mentally & emotionally? From what I read she left him due to his alcoholism & his cheating.

Angel Pie can't believe everything you read

All I know is it came not long after his diagnosis and that is sick to me don't know about the cheating

Well it has been reported that he cheated on all 3 wives. He took after his father. I believe David was better off single. Wife #3 was fooling around with him while he was married with wife #2.

I wish Piers would stop trashing Meghan. She hurt him by rejecting him, but that is how life works sometimes.

@@emilymalden3310 Piers wasn't upset about being "rejected". He called M out for lying.

I loved David Cassidy.. pictures of him all over my room. .... Never cared about new pics or his pain. Or his addiction and I understand and that he was incredible

@@lisaarmstrong5819 HI LISA YES MY ROOM TO SAME LIKE YOU I LOVE DAVID CASSIDY SO MUCH DAVID FOR MY WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN IN THE WORLD.

@@lisaarmstrong5819 I WAS AGE 15 YEARS OLD GO TO DAVID CONCERT HE RE IN EUROPE HOLLAND .

@@lisaarmstrong5819 DAVID CONCERT HE RE WAS IN 1974.

He did it to himself. Our culture doesn't do this. He did it to himself! Now stop being so starry eyed about Cassidy. If you were his girlfriend I'd bet you would leave him for being such a drunk.

His drinking ruined him; and cut his life short.

He raped Samantha Fox in the toilet, check it out. Do you still want to sing that song "come on get happy"?

@@mindfulclarity169 She wasn't raped; she claims that she was groped and she told all about it in interviews and her book. The way she has been conducting herself over the years makes it hard for anyone to believe her!

I think his bigger problem was having an abusive alcoholic father.

he truly was a wonderful, kind and talented human being, so sad that he had so many demons in life that caused him to drink

Hi Mr. Cooper you lucky one! 💕

RIGHT? He was always so very honest and good at figuring out how he felt about something and communicating it. I wish he had had a talk show, I think he would have been good at that!

not good is an understatement his Dad resented him but Jack had mental illness that made him incapable of loving David hopefully they are embracing in heaven

Divorce is always hardest on the kids ! And it seems a lot of divorces happen when kids are going through puberty !?!

Divorce is a traumatic experience for the children involved.their lives are marred .

Alcoholism

(: That is very true!!!!! ... :(

Well, that didn't turn out so well now did it?

@@arniewince7133, lol, you are BRUTAL on these DC comment blogs!

@@melissamajors4925 I NEVER wished him dead and I really didn't dislike him. I am more astounded at how these rabid fans of his still can't see the forest for the trees and that this tragedy should wake up and show people how his fame, wealth and willpower was not enough to keep him alive. It is a shame he wouldn't listen to his family or friends which I believe to this day, he never took their advice to get help. He thought he could do it on his own but he proved wrong. He was a disaster looking for a place to happen. BTW, he is no one to look up to anymore. He had everything to enjoy a full and joyful life but he threw it all away.

@@arniewince7133, absolutely couldn't agree more! He seemed like he had really found himself on the Piers Morgan interview and then he backslid somewhere, and you know the rest of the story. Ironically, I didn't think that he was that adorable when I was younger in the 70s, but in my adult life, I see his appeal so I've been catching up, haha! That said, I don't think he was a good actor or singer. If he hadn't have had his looks, we would not even know who he was because his talents weren't as astounding as everyone makes them out to be, Imo.

Damn old age sucks

His problems were not due to his age...at all.

+Renee Bloggs actually they are ...it was hard for him to accept getting old....think about it..

@@sammysam6210 no, you are 100% wrong. Watch the documentary “David Cassidy: The Last Session” and you’ll understand the real issues and demons he battled.

Things went awful for him. Alcohol is horrific along with the Hollywood thing. It created such a mess in his mind. He should have been in therapy from the Partridge days. Even then who knows. I am going to try to think of his early life and forget all this morbid viewing I watched.

@@mediascribble Agreed, but the saddest part of all of this tragedy is how talented David was, unlike so many others I could mention.

I think were cursed by generational passing down of pain from all the pain that took place in Ireland over the centuries like the potato famines, being treated like garbage by the the English along with the Catholic church keeping people down and subservient and abused. I think alcohol was a way to numb the pain of people who can't be bothered with your feelings because survival is at stake. I watch a lot of Dr. Gabor Mate's videos on addiction and childhood trauma and or abuse and his take is basically people trying to numb the pain from that and it comes in all different forms not just drugs and alcohol but shopping,sex, internet, tv, food etc. My parents had serious issues and so di their parents and I'm sure the ones before them as well and alcohol was the easiest substance to numb that pain out.

Nancy Metrick I first saw him on "Marcus Welby" as an angry adolescent finding out he's diabetic. I never let Partridge Family's image to erase that appreciation of his acting. Praying everything gets better for him.

Nancy Metrick Hasn’t been easy? He was born into money. With 2 superstar parents. He chose drugs! and drinking. I believe all that led to his onset early dementia. Sip!

Jealous much?

Heart Centred of what? Drug and alcohol abuse? You sound stupid. Listen to your self. Idiot.

He is in a better place now, sorry I know that is not what you meant. just so sad that now he is gone

*major

he knows it now. he's with GD.

@@SuperJasonGold so right Jason. It was a powerful interview

yes i died right along with him just soo tragic i have alcoholics in my family the damage is horrible..i miss him but hes at peace

😟 🙏🧚🕊️💛🕊️🧚🙏

Hi Rebecca

AGREED.

Ah love you rest now David xxx

David such a beautiful human being. Modest and very gracious. So bright and articulate. A truly honest heartwarming interview David you are missed and loved. RIP.

RIP

You can...do anything! let the dark days go.❤

Hello Lynn

+ceterababe But hopeful!

I have to agree with you. I saw this interview for the first time Mid or late October 2015 while I was sharing a dorm for a few days with little other to do than watch old movies or sit-coms on my android tablet and I happened to come across and watch this interview and it was so heartbreaking . I have not gotten over it yet. And as I said in a previous post, there are pother problems in the world . David Cassidy is just another celeberty who is dealing with a fall from early stardom . As his own stepmother said, he is a troubled man. There are so many troubled people on the planet, yet I am hoping that David Cassidy pulls through. He would be an inspiration for others dealing with alcoholism. Not everyone likes, or liked him. The same with every individual. I for one find it very sad that apparently he may have inherited the bi- polar issues of his father and/or the dementia issues of his biological mother. I don't know. It looks like he may not have much more to go in this world.

Yes! THE saddest . Who would have known back then ?

L Martinez Well, you turned out to be quite right. I'm surprised Mr. Morgan didn't go total a-hole on him. It's ironic that the person he represented in the TV series, Bill Cowsill, had an abusive father (emotionally and physically) and met his end in his 50's from drug and alcohol abuse. By the time he tried to clean up, it was too late.

@@terr777 No, he had plenty of time to get sober. He didn't want it bad enough. There is no magic pill to cure alcoholism so he just tried willpower which does NOT work!

It’s obvious to all that his looks have faded, but that’s the media for you. Everyones looks ‘fade’ to some extent, with the exception of those whose turn to the knife and then they have looks which are horrific rather than faded.

WiiGurlGaming l

His hair transplants saved what he had left

NOT 66, 64 MAX.

Very true! What a great reply and I believe every word. Most of us could only hope to have David's talent and good looks!

Alcoholic fathers and step fathers have seriously deprecated the last few generations.

@@zolikubi I'm thinking it goes a lot further back than the last few generations.

You've just described, perfectly, how I feel. ❤

Sadly Kay Muldoon you can't get through Dementia

Sandra Pen In the 1990s So Much press was given to the demons of Booze but today people act like its a Godsend becuase eveyone is so stressed out all of the time. Whats wrong with this picture? 🤐

Agreed , it destroyed my relationship my partner was and probably still is drink dependent .

Nina Cipriano totally agree I watched the police treat him like he was being aggressive ( he was not just intoxicated) instead of saying your under arrest they trick him to put his hands behind his back..Very sad.

The first comments you make about DC's musical talent & achievements are right on ! And that is why he deserves to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Sign the petition for this if you already haven't. Beyond that, he seemed to have a good heart & his great music & the joy it gave us will endure, even if his life could not, unfortunately.

Dennis Jeffs I

Larry King would have done better... Piers cuts people off mid sentence.

he did plenty of interrupting, but to a degree, it's his job,and he got a good interview out of it. for us the viewers.DC has gained so much personal humility ,he understands that it really isn't all about him.it's a show. I write this just after he passed away. he was my 'little' sister's girlhood pop fave back in those early 70's but I thought he and Danny Bonaduce had a decent comic rapport that may not have even been expected, since for the most part Cassidy was a musical personality. but I write this after his death a couple days ago, and I hope he went to a better place, as he sincerely worked to improve himself as a human being. it's sad seeing this because I wasn't really aware of his personal addiction w/ booze or his personal life at all, (except that his Dad was Jack Cassidy) until reading his obit, and now I see what progress he made by the time of this fairly recent show, and ,well, it's just sad. I get the impression tho, that he'd rather we celebrate his sobriety and be inspired by it, than dwell on the sad stuff .you done good, David. rest easy.

RIP DAVID!

I was interviewed by Piers and he was very respectful to me

Hi Ramona

Hi Paula

Yes the interview was a priviledge

Not really. He never stopped drinking.

+Hannes Minkema Alcoholism is a strange thing.

Hi Lisa

No matter how successful we become, we must always remember to keep God, family and friends first.

R I P David Cassidy

Money and fame will never bring you true and lasting happiness

@@premiumblue1637 that is very true a person can be empty unhappy naturally depressed and that is life

Debra Morris he should definitely be in the hall of fame

+Debra Morris You said a mouthful, Debra! And "Amen!" to his going online to see how much he's supported! When I look at him, all I see is one awesome human-being! He has much courage and strength within, and hope as well! And are you serious that he's not in the Rock Hall Of Fame?!?! What part of scratching my head open in wonderment over this don't you understand?

Debra Morris I agree I hate that his dad and him never made peace

Debra Morris ....I also signed a petition for David to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I agree with everything that you said about David and the interview with Piers Morgan. David was so honest and open. And hurting. I wish everyone was just half as honest open and caring as what David was during this interview. The world would be a much more likeable and enjoyable place if that were so.

I signed the petition too. He deserves it not because I like him & enjoyed his show & music, if a little late because he was about a decade before my time as far as being one of his screaming fans, but because watching reruns of his "Partridge" show as well as other video footage of his concerts & performances show that he was a talented musician and a natural singer with a unique voice that was sweet to the ears. As a musician I believe he was definitely under rated never getting the respect he deserved. As an actor I think probably the same as he was typecast as the happy go lucky handsone teenager who made young girls swoon & scream with his singing and looks. I saw some dramatic performances in other shows that were pretty decent. At least one of them was even before his "Partridge " days. So I hope fans can get him into the Rock ,& Roll Hall of Fame. Even posthomously that would get him back some of the respect he was denied, but deserved for his talents. As for his personality, he seemed to be a sweet principled guy in so far as treating others with kindness & respect. That says a lot about him & makes me like him & appreciate his music even more. A special, unique guy. Sad for him that he had a rocky relationship with his father who definitely had his own issues ! His messed up father treated David badly...lots of emotional / verbal abuse & maybe even some physica abuse at least when he was a youngster. This had to have led to his drinking which turned into a serious addiction. Too bad he seemed like a good soul with a lot of natural talent that should have had a happier life than he did. I hope he found peace beyond this world because here on earth, oh how our screwed up parents can screw us up ! Always a fan of his music, his voice & his gentle spirit. Thank him for giving so many of us a lot of joy with his talent & wishing that he could have had much more joy for himself !

+fool4singing Yes. It is amazing because there were other stratospheric rock stars at the time. Elton John really dominated the 70s. It was strange that in the 80s, Elton John practically disappeared when Michael Jackson became an unprecedentedly global phenomenon.

+L Martinez it was only a perception that Elton John disappeared during the 1980s but he had hits in 80, 82, 83, 85 and 87. by the time his 87 hit was out I was surprised he was not dying of AIDS because of so many people dying of it and the perception Elton John disappeared.

Perhaps so. But Michael Jackson really drowned out everyone else (for better or worse) for the entire decade of the 80s. It wasn't until the early 90s that MJ began. to have significant problems with record sales and his own publicity since it was then that the whole scenario with child molestation really began to arise, and MJ then became a broken man with a ruined career. You are right that the 80s was the first decade in which AIDS was taking a toll on some well known celebrities and EJ was one of those.

+L Martinez Michael Jackson did not have a ruined career lol. He still managed to outsell his contemporaries despite unprecedented negative press. Dangerous is in the top 20 best selling albums of all time (40mil). History sold 30million. Blood on the Dancefloor is the biggest selling remix collection of all time. If that is a failing career, I'd take it. He was mobbed everywhere he went right up until his death.

L Martinez Elton has said many times he is blessed to be alive as well drugs almost took him
