Those who have known me a while will attest to my love of Dan Fogelberg's music. Although I really haven't listened to his songs in a few years, I was a huge fan from 1974's "Captured Angel" through 1987's "Exiles".

Unquestionably, my favorite album was 1981's "The Innocent Age". I can still listen to it from beginning to end and enjoy it as if I were heearing it for the first time.

Unfortunately, I read some sad news on his website that I want to share with you...

DanFogelberg.com regrets to announce the cancellation of the Fall 2004 Solo Acoustic Tour. Dan has been recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.

From Dan himself: "The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated'. I am undergoing treatment and we are very encouraged by the progress I am making. I would like to express my regret over the cancellation of my fall tour and thank my wonderful fans for all their prayers and heartfelt good wishes. I would also personally like to request that our privacy and the privacy of our families be respected. If there is any news that I wish to make known to the public, it will be posted here or released officially through HK Management.”

Good wishes for Dan can be posted at:http://www.thelivinglegacy.net/wishes.html

I hate it when I am reminded that I'm no longer 21.
