Parade: Sunday Newspaper Magazine
We were reading the Sunday Sept. 21 St. Paul (MN) newspaper and my wife spotted a question about Gordon Lightfoot in the Personality Parade section. There were many questions and answers on famous people with Gordon's question/answer is at the end. Here is the clip of the segment. Great news that a CD of the best of Massey Hall performances will be released !!
Q I recently attended a concert by folk legend Gordon Lightfoot and was sad to see the change in his once ruggedly handsome appearance. What happened?-- Pat Barker, Lindenhurst, Ill.
A In 2002, Lightfoot suffered a ruptured aortic aneurysm, similar to the condition that killed actor John Ritter. He endured six weeks in a coma, four surgeries, and two years of extensive rehab. Now 69 and enjoying a busy schedule, Lightfoot is preparing a "live" CD based on his recent concerts in Toronto.
