Life long fans of Canadian singer songwriter Gordon Lightfoot were shocked to hear today that the legendary folk singer is still alive. Internet rumours he had suddenly died brought widespread sadness and confusion across the nation, hurling the popular Lightfoot back into the spotlight. Blogs and news rooms across the country have been buzzing. Although the news of his death was most likely a cruel prank, the attention it has drawn is small in comparison to the number of fans who were shocked to hear he was still among the living. "This is unbelievable, I had no idea he was still with us!" said one joy filled fan "I thought for sure he had died years ago." Another self confessed former groupie uttered: "This is fantastic news and as soon as I get my hair permed I'm dusting off my albums and listening to 'If you could read my mind', over and over again."
Lightfoot took the prank in stride saying he was in good health and hasn't had so much air play in years. "This rumour is great for music sales but I wish someone had pulled it off years ago while most of my fans were still alive."
