Tony Christie has spoken of his positive approach to being diagnosed with dementia, saying: “If you start worrying about it, you’re finished. Ignore it, carry on and do what you do.”
The 79-year-old opened up about his diagnosis two weeks ago, almost two years since he was first told he had the condition.
Tony began to notice he couldn’t do everyday tasks as he once did, struggled with remembering the words to his own songs and found he couldn’t solve his daily crossword puzzles anymore.
