Gordon Lightfoot, it seems, learned of his own passing much later than most Canadians.
Unbeknownst to the 71-year-old Canadian folk icon, he was declared dead – first by a Twitter poster in Ottawa, then by a plethora of news websites, then by just about every other media outlet in the country – during a visit to his dentist on Thursday afternoon. It was only when he innocently flipped on the radio while driving back to his office that he learned that he was no longer alive. According to some reports, in fact, he had died the night before.
“I was quite surprised to hear it myself,” a good-humoured Lightfoot quipped in a call to CP24 hastily made upon his return to the Early Morning Productions office, where the phones were predictably ringing off the hook. “I’m sitting in my office right now.”
The speed with which Lightfoot’s death and resurrection in the media took place was amazing. At 2:40 p.m. EST, for instance, the Vancouver Sun’s website posted a brief announcing Lightfoot’s death, quoting fellow singer Ronnie Hawkins as saying his old friend had passed away the previous evening. By 2:52, it was gone.
“I’m fine. I’m in great health. I’ve been doing just fine. The whole thing’s a hoax,” said Lightfoot during another call, this one to 680 News, joking that “all of a sudden, my music is in heavy rotation.”
“We’re gonna be getting calls here all afternoon, I’m sure … I really appreciate the concern. I don’t know what to make of it but I hope that we’ll find out. But I’m fine.”
Where the rumours came from is anyone’s guess at this point. Hawkins is certainly baffled.
Reached at his rural-Ontario home, Hawkstone Manor, he called the whole affair “some kind of a sick joke” and graciously accepted the offer from this reporter of Lightfoot’s home phone number, which he’d misplaced, to ring up his old pal and apologize.
Hawkins said he’d received a call from his management office in Minneapolis earlier in the day telling him Lightfoot’s grandson had phoned in to say that the man responsible for such indelible folk tunes as “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” and “Early Morning Rain” had passed away the night before.
“I don’t know Gordon’s grandson. I didn’t even know if Gordon has a grandson,” he said, audibly flustered. “I called my wife in Florida and told her and I guess she faxed some of her friends and now, all of a sudden, it’s all over the world. It’s terrible. I can’t even get ahold of Gordon. Holy smoke, it’s unbelievable.
“It’s a sick joke. I’m glad it is a sick joke, but it’s bad.”
Lightfoot’s longtime manager, Bernie Fiedler, was clearly weary of the whole affair by the end of the afternoon. But at least he used it as an opportunity to promote the singer’s upcoming spring tour, which kicks off in St. John’s on March 29 and 30 and concludes at the John Labatt Centre in London on April 15.
“He’s alive and well,” affirmed Fiedler. “He’s looking forward to his touring
if this is a re-hash, my apologies, i may have missed it in earlier thread and i dont mean to be stepping on anyones toe's.

Although I am not well known on this site, I feel the desire to share. I had a very big loss in my life today. A very good friend of mines daughter was killed in an accident at Pharmacy and Lawrence in the wee hours of the morning today. She was only 19. She leaves behind a 18 month old little girl. The young fella that was driving didnt have a license, had plates on the car that were registered to another vehicle, fled the scene, and, was driving at a high rate of speed. At first I felt rage pump through my veins, but, as the day wore on, the rage was replaced by a deep sorrow for all involved. This young man made a huge mistake that will live with him for the rest of his days and when I think of it, many young men, myself included, broke speed limits and drove recklessly trying to impress girls, but thankfully, most of us were fortunate to make it home. All in all it is a tremendous tragidy that I would wish on nobody. So, with this being said, please take a minute to talk to anyone in your life that may be at the age to make these terrible decisions and let them know just how fragile life is.
God bless you Nicole, and may you be at peace.
