Captain & Tennille continued to do TV specials, tour and record for years, but slowed down over the past decade and retired to Prescott.
Tennille, 73, revealed in 2010 that Dragon, 71, was suffering from a neurological disorder whose symptoms were akin to those of Parkinson's disease.
"Many of you know he is dealing with a neurological condition (not Parkinsons, but something similar) that causes him to have tremors...pretty severe at times...that interfere with his ability to play keyboards," she wrote on her blog. "Some days he does pretty well...other days his playing is severely compromised. His condition is exascerbated by any kind of stress, and worrying about his ability to play has made his condition worse. Also, his sister, Carmen, passed away recently, and he is trying to deal with that loss in his own way. I hope all of you understand that he would be there if he could, but it isn't possible this time. Maybe next year."
