David Cassidy, a notable American actor and songwriter, gained fame for playing Keith Partridge in the popular ’70s musical sitcom, The Partridge Family. Born into a family entrenched in showbiz, Cassidy ascended to teen idol status, thanks to his captivating looks and infectious pop tunes. Despite his initial triumphs, the actor struggled with substance abuse and also faced legal cases.
Sadly, he died in 2017 due to complications from liver failure at the age of 67. It’s been more than five years since David’s death and his half-brother, Patrick Cassidy, recently penned a poignant tribute to the revered Hollywood luminary.
