During the mid 1970’s, he temporarily retired after a girl was crushed to death, due to a mob of stampeding fans. He resumed singing in the 90’s to mixed success, along with some DUI-drug related arrests.
David Cassidy’s father, Jack Cassidy was also an actor and singer, performing on stage and screen. One of his best roles (shortly before his death) was in “The Eiger Sanction” (1974), as a homosexual assassin.

Real life tragedy struck when he was found burned to death – the result of falling asleep while smoking.
