(Is This the Way to) Amarillo hitmaker Tony Christie has offered a major health update after revealing his dementia diagnosis back in 2023. The Avenues and Alleyways singer, 82, confessed that he’s still continuing to make music and is even planning to head on tour – despite suffering “anxiety” that comes with his condition.

The star told The Mirror that he does struggle to access music to listen to, and needs help from his wife Sue and granddaughter Deià to help him use technology.
