Back in 20156 the Brazilian radio station 98FM decided to pay a touching tribute to Malcolm by playing AC/DC tracks to dementia sufferers, and filming their reactions.
Take a look:
When a set of headphones playing music was placed over their ears, the elderly listeners smiled and began tapping their feet or nodding their heads.
Dementia is a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long-term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember that is great enough to affect a person’s daily functioning.
Other common symptoms include emotional problems, problems with language, and a decrease in motivation. A person’s consciousness is usually not affected. A dementia diagnosis requires a change from a person’s usual mental functioning and a greater decline than one would expect due to aging. These diseases also have a significant effect on a person’s caregivers.
Your music will always be played by us, Malcolm. Rest in Peace and thank you for giving us more strength everyday!
