He and his wife talk about his extraordinary life – and facing severe illnessWhen Beverly Glenn-Copeland was diagnosed with a form of dementia called Late two years ago, he was advised to stay at home and do crossword puzzles. He tried, but he doesn’t like crosswords, and it didn’t feel right. One day, recalls his wife Elizabeth, he said: “Honey, I know this is meant to be giving me more time, but I just feel like we’re not living a life. I have places I want to see and people I want to meet before I die. Since we have to make money, let’s make money doing what we love to do.”And so the couple, who live in Hamilton, Ontario, are in London, midway through a tour that is the latest chapter in Glenn’s extraordinary late-in-life journey from unknown musician to revered cult icon.

But in Asia, the 71-year-old works all the time, still doing his own stunts, as well as working as a producer and fight choreographer.This Macau-set cops-and-robbers thriller even has a little fun by introducing him as a “retired” cop turned dog walker called Wong, surrounded by a motley pack of pooches that he marshals expertly through the streets. Once the best surveillance man on the force, Wong’s observational skills have not faded a jot, as he proves by recounting exactly which...
