Hey there, time traveller!

Tanya Tucker, whose brief and stormy relationship with Glen Campbell was the stuff of headlines in the early 1980s, has released a song in honour of her former fiancé, who died Tuesday at 81 after struggling for years with Alzheimer’s disease.
“I’m just devastated. Absolutely devastated,” Tucker said in a statement Thursday. “It’s been so hard these past several years knowing what he’s been going through. My heart just breaks.”
As a couple, the two made music together — notably Dream Lover — for 14 months while she was in her early 20s and he was in his mid-40s. Tucker would have been Campbell’s fourth wife had they not broken off their engagement in 1981.
In 1982, the Rhinestone Cowboy singer married Kim Woollen. That marriage lasted the rest of his life.
“Glen and I shared some incredible, precious memories together for a long time,” Tucker said in her Thursday statement. “There were some ups and downs and, of course, all the downs were played out in the press. We both got past all that. Forgiveness is a wonderful thing.”
Tucker said her new song, Forever Loving You, is not only in memory of Campbell but also “for all of those who are losing or have lost someone they love.”
