David’s Star – on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars

From Johnny Ray Miller:

David Cassidy will be receiving a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars for his outstanding work on the stage, and with great shock and excitement I have been invited to be a keynote speaker. I can’t tell you how humbled and proud I am to be part of this extraordinary event.

David broke records in the late 90’s for his lead role in the spectacular musical,” EFX.”  It was a box office smash for several years in a row at the MGM Grand. David won several awards during his run in Vegas including Entertainer of The Year. “EFX” led to other successful Vegas productions including “At The Copa,” which he co-starred in next to Sheena Easton. He also wrote the musical “The Rat Pack is Back,” and made occasional appearances in it.  

David’s star will be placed outside of the Paris Hotel among the likes of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and Donny & Marie Osmond. I am thrilled to see David Cassidy getting the musical credibility he always deserved.  The ceremony was originally planned for April 8 and 9 and quickly postponed due to the pandemic. When the time comes that our world begins to open up again, we can all look forward to this exciting celebration.

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…
