Hi, Carolinalulu (love the name)!

Gord gave an interview to the Toronto Star in April about what happened to him and what he's working on now. It's archived at Val Magee's site: http://gordonlightfoot.com/thestar_c...eaths_door.htm

He truly was knock-knock-knockin' at heaven's door last fall (out completely for 6+ weeks through repeated surgeries - very serious stuff) but is up and on his feet and plowing ahead with his recovery. He hopes to resume touring in autumn of next year, and continues to work on a new album that he already had 23 songs written for before his illness. He still has one more planned surgery in late summer/early fall to face, so our prayers continue for him and his family but we are delighted in his resolve to come back and perform again.
