Soul legend Bobby Womack announced that he has been diagnosed with the brain disorder known as Alzheimer’s. The disease, is the most common form of dementia, and there is no cure for the disease, which worsens as it progresses, and eventually leads to death. The singer said this in regards to his condition:

“The doctor says there are signs of Alzheimer’s. It’s not bad yet, but will get worse.” adding “How can I not remember songs I wrote? It’s frustrating. I don’t feel together yet. Negative things come in my mind and it’s hard for me to remember sometimes.”

Bobby had a huge year in 2012, releasing his first album in over a decade with Damon Albarn (Gorillaz) executive producing the whole project. The LP entitled The Bravest Man in The Universe, was praised highly by critics as one of the best projects of 2012. The LP is in stores now. We love and respect the music Bobby, and “we at Faux Society will always remember.”
