Dan Fogelberg Dead At 56

CNN: Dan Fogelberg, the singer and songwriter whose hits "Leader of the Band" and "Same Old Lang Syne" helped define the soft-rock era, died Sunday at his home in Maine after battling prostate cancer. He was 56.

...Later in his career, he would write material that focused on the state of the environment, an issue close to his heart. Fogelberg's last album was 2003's "Full Circle," his first album of original material in a decade. A year later he would receive his cancer diagnosis, forcing him to forgo a planned fall tour.


Same Old Lang Syne is one of my favorites.

RIP, Dan.

I shared this Dan Fogelberg tribute song of mine at my Christmas CD release party tonight for Certified Gold, Incense and Myrrh, and it was very well received. It'll Never be the Same Auld Lang Syne. For anyone who would like to check it out, it's a free download at my website:
