One year ago today…

One year ago today I lost my friend, mentor, brother from another mother, musician, artist, thespian, father, DC, the professor, David Bruce Cassidy. He was a truly unique American Artist, that changed pop music forever. He loved making music as much as anyone I have ever known.

Despite all his trials and tribulations, he always was hopeful. A generous spirit, a big heart, that had to endure the constant struggle of living in an era that he could not abide by. He would quote Lennon constantly, “Love is all we need”. Yet much to his dismay, the world seemed not to listen…

Despite all that, with his music he tried to share the feeling and spirit of his generation. I know he inspired many, and he made me exponentially a better person and artist for having known him. See you on the other side brother, I can still hear you singing in quiet moments of self reflection.  You are missed and will never be forgotten.

Love you brother…

Campaign to get David a star in Las Vegas

Fans have begun a campaign to get David a star in Las Vegas, at the Walk Of Stars. It has already been approved by the Walk Of Stars Committee, and has a tentative date to be completed in April 2019.

The target is $20,000 which includes all fees and the ceremony. All donations are tax deductable.

This is all being done by the fans, for the fans and his family. All information can be found on David Cassidy’s Star Facebook page. 

In 1996, David took over the lead role at the MGM Grand in the $75 million extravaganza EFX. The producers of EFX had seen David in “Blood Brothers” and contacted him about taking over the lead role. David said he would as long as he could have creative input into making major changes.

Under David Chisium and David Cassidy’s creative direction, EFX was entirely re-vamped. They gave it more of a plot, made it less dark, introduced a circus act, and David Cassidy wrote new music for the play.

EFX then became the most successful production in Las Vegas. The MGM acknowledged that David Cassidy was singularly responsible for bringing over 1 million paid customers to see EFX. Within four months of opening, the show was voted “Most Improved Show in Las Vegas”, “Best Production Show” in Las Vegas, and David was voted “Best All Around Performer” and “Best Singer.”

In 1999, David was again named “Best All Around Performer” in the Review Journal’s Best of Las Vegas. He was also chosen City Life’s “Entertainer of the Year” and was dubbed “Show Star of the Year” by Gaming Today.
