Cassidy was so popular that he reportedly attracted a fan club bigger than those of Elvis Presley and the Beatles at the time, according to CNN . He performed in concerts around the world for decades. In February, Cassidy announced he had been diagnosed with dementia and would be retiring at the end of the year.

I want to focus on what I am, who I am and how Ive been without any distractions, Cassidy told People magazine following the announcement. I want to love. I want to enjoy life.

Katie Cassidy followed her father into the entertainment industry, with roles in several hit TV shows including Gossip Girl and Melrose Place.
