Gordon Lightfoot Dead at 84F***. This hits hard. I have grown to really appreciate Gordon Lightfoot the last 8 years or so. Loved his music. Godspeed to a legend....

Sucks, he was definitely a legend. Not to take anything away from this, but I was sure he'd passed away ages ago. I assume I conflated him and someone else.

He's had a few health scares over the past few years, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of those was what lead you to think that. He'd been doing what he can to keep performing, though... he just cancelled his next tour three weeks ago because of his health. 84 years old and still planning to tour. An icon, one of the best writers and singers in Canadian music. Rest in peace, sir.

Kinda saw this coming unfortunately, he’s struggled with touring for awhile. Still sucks, absolute legend.

"I can't think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don't like. Everytime I hear a song of his, it's like I wish it would last forever. " - Bob Dylan
RIP to a legend with a songbook that will go down as one of the best. When my brother and I were kids we would take trips with our parents, and since this was before cell phones and tablets we entertained ourselves with music. Neither of us liked any music that our parents would pick. Miles after miles of listening to Brenda Lee and others (some of which I'd appreciate as I grew older). But the one artist that we could all agree on was Gordon Lightfoot. Those were some of the best memories of my childhood singing together as a family alongside Gordon. Every time I hear his voice, I'm transported back to being 12 years old in the back of our 2000 Honda CRV off on another adventure. Rest well.
