David Cassidy’s Family Won’t Be Honoring The Hollywood Star But Why?

David Cassidy was a world-famous teen idol. He had an entire generation of young girls swooning after him, and after his days on TV, he would wow the crowds as he took to the stage. Sadly he met his fate in November 2017. Yet he will always be remembered as a legend. However, his family’s recent decision to not give him a proper send off has shocked the world. What is their reasoning for this?

Sad Ending

He was only 67 when he died, and his life certainly had its ups and downs. It has taken until now for his family to speak out about what the funeral arrangements are, or shall we say lack of funeral arrangements. But why?

Looming Sadness

David Cassidy shot to fame for his role in the beloved show The Partridge Family in the 1970s. This character would change the course of his entire life. He became the archetypal teen idol, with girls fawning over him and sticking his picture on their bedroom walls. But no matter how many girls fell at his feet, and how big his career became he still didn’t seem to be happy.

Loathed The Image

In fact, Cassidy actually spent most of his life trying to shed this teen idol image. He longed to be taken seriously as an adult entertainer, but none of his attempts seemed to work. Even way back in 1972, when The Partridge Family was still on air, he posed naked for Rolling Stone magazine. In the corresponding interview he revealed that he was a drug user.

Tragedy Looms

Sadly, tragedy seemed to follow Cassidy. In 1974 a terrible incident happened to one of his young adoring female fans. When Cassidy performed a show at London’s White City Stadium, a dangerous stampede occurred. Almost 800 concert-goers were badly injured. What’s more, tragically, one fan suffered a heart attack and died in hospital. He never got over this trauma.
