Glen Campbell is considering adding more dates to his farewell tour, the Associated Press reports.

The 76-year-old country music star, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease last year, has been touring the country in support of his final album, Ghost on the Canvas. He played more than 120 shows in 2012, but canceled a tour with Kenny Rogers through Australian and New Zealand over the summer for health reasons.

After Campbell played his final show for the year in Napa, California on Friday night, his longtime manager Stan Schneider said that singer's recent shows have been among his best. If Campbell feels strong enough after taking a break for the holidays, Schneider said, he will begin to schedule more dates to continue the tour into 2013.

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
