Nearly a year after Toni Tennille filed for divorce from Daryl Dragon, her ailing and ex-hubby is entering a nursing home, sources told The National 
ENQUIRER.

The 72-year-old musician – famed for wearing a captain’s hat – has failed to bounce back from the devastating split, and his health has deteriorated.

A close source told The ENQUIRER: “It’s a horrible holiday- time tragedy. Toni and their musical partnership was everything to him. Daryl’s sadly spiraled down and is headed for a nursing home.”

After Toni, 74, socked him with divorce papers to end their 39-year marriage last Jan. 16, a devastated Daryl told The ENQUIRER: “The divorce scares the crap out of me … but I still love Toni. This divorce was Toni’s idea and I don’t understand it.”

Daryl suffers from debilitating tremors from a neurological condition similar to Parkinson’s disease. He told The ENQUIRER he was bedridden and had a tumor removed from his neck around the time of the divorce.

While Toni moved into a luxury home, he was forced to vacate their marital home for a small rental property in Prescott, Ariz.

The split shocked fans of the duo, famed for their ’70s hits, including “Love Will Keep Us Together” and “Muskrat Love.”

In a recent blog post, Toni wrote: “Our marriage was never what it might have seemed to the casual 
observer.”, but I tried hard for over three decades to make our relationship all that I had dreamed it would be.” As for Daryl, she added: “I call him every couple of weeks to see how he is doing, and visit him every now and then… I even suggested to him that he might write a blog, but he seems to have no interest in it.”
