Besides, everybody has their stuff that they have to go through. For all we know, they could just be taking a breather for a bit. Knowing how guarded Lightfoot has always been, I was surprised that it was even mentioned. We now even know the final verdict straight from the man himself as to what the official diagnosis was of his illness last fall. Lot's of personal info. that we have not gotten before.
After reading this article, it gave me the impression that he is alone, struggling with his faith, not feeling very well and trying to get through one of the scarest and most serious issues that he has had to face. At this stage in his life, he should have his wife by his side, if that is what he wants. It's a big load for one person to shoulder. Without a doubt, Lightfoot is going through some very tough times. Definitely not the usual "everything is fine" comments that are usually in these articles about him.
At any rate, I can't wait to hear his new CD when it gets completed.
