Beverly Glenn-Copeland says he's been diagnosed with dementia and will play his final concert tour dates over the next two weeks.
In a video posted to his Instagram account on Monday, the Philadelphia-born, Hamilton-based singer and composer revealed the diagnosis while sitting alongside his wife Elizabeth.
"So far it does not impact my ability to be fully in the moment with those I love," he said in the message.
Glenn-Copeland will play his last Canadian concert in Montreal on Thursday before stops in Brooklyn on Sept. 30 and Saugerties, N.Y. on Oct. 5.
But the couple said he doesn't plan to stop making art, as the experience has led to a "massive creative renewal."
"As these parts of him go, I see his essential light shining brighter than ever," Elizabeth said in the video.
"We want to challenge the mainstream image of illness which focuses on loss. We are actively asking the universe to show us where is the life here."
