Gordon Lightfoot left a lasting impression on music fans and some Canadian musicians say his influence on the country’s collective identity is immeasurable.
Rock singer Tom Cochrane described Lightfoot, who died Monday at 84 years old, as a personal friend and inspiration who proved himself as one of Canada's “seminal cultural artists" while being "a heck of a nice guy" all the while.
A representative for Lightfoot's family says he died of natural causes at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. He had suffered numerous health issues in recent decades. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted that Lightfoot "helped shape Canada’s soundscape" while Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield said his "poetry and melodies are an eternal inspiration."
