Campaign to get David a star in Las Vegas

Posted on by

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.

 

 

David Cassidy: The LAST SESSION

Posted on by

A&E recently announced a documentary about the music and life of David Cassidy, entitled David Cassidy: The LAST SESSION.   It is scheduled to air on the A&E Network on June 11 at 9PM ET/PT.

Originally, this two-hour documentary began as a broader four-part series that David was contractually and artistically committed to completing and promoting.  Unaware of the gravity of his deteriorating physical health, however, David would not live to see the completion of the project.

Above all, David was steadfast in wanting to express his profound gratitude to his many fans around the world for their unwavering and enduring support of him throughout his career.  In many respects, it is foremost through his fans that David Cassidy’s legacy lives on today.
