81-year-old singer Tony Christie, diagnosed with dementia three years ago, shared his experience on Good Morning Britain. Despite his diagnosis, Christie chooses to ignore it and continue performing. He uses an autocue during live performances to help him remember lyrics from past albums due to memory issues caused by his illness. Christie believes that music helps alleviate the effects of dementia, as it takes his mind off other things and strengthens his memory. He is best known for his hit song "Amarillo."
