Canadian folk icon Gordon Lightfoot died Thursday at the age of 84, according to his tour publicist.
Lightfoot’s songs were covered by dozens if not hundreds of artists — everyone from Elvis Presley to Dylan.Article content
Along the way he got married three times and had a half-dozen children and was even the subject of a 2010 death hoax..I last saw Lightfoot perform on Nov. 26, 2021, during the second of a three-night stand at Massey Hall, which had been recently renovated and was nicknamed “Gord’s room” long ago because he played there so often.
Lightfoot had been the last performer at the venue in July 2018 and before his first show on Nov. 25, 2021, he received the key to the city on the newly christened Allan Slaight stage commemorating the troubadour’s 170th performance at the venue.“It was an emotional experience for which I am deeply honoured,” tweeted Lightfoot afterwards.
The singer-songwriter and his four-man band delivered an efficient 70-minute set consisting of just 15 songs after he broke his wrist that August during fall at home. He told me in an November 2021 interview promoting the Massey Hall gigs: “It became my place for me to worship the crowd. Not for them to worship me.”
