I love Dan - been a fan since Home Free. Have all his records/now in CD form. I am so sad to hear of his illness. I feel need to play his music 1st thing in the morning/last thing at night to send some type of "psychic" good luck. I want to talk w/others about how much his music means to me, but don't find a lot of forums out here with much talk. I don't want the next news of Dan to be of his death. ~Mandi

DAN FOGELBERG, known for hits such as Leader of the Band, Run for the Roses and Same Old Lang Syne, is undergoing experimental treatment for advanced prostate cancer. Fogelberg, 53, was diagnosed with the cancer two months ago during a checkup to prepare for a tour. The Illinois native has cancelled the 16-city solo acoustic tour.

His mother, Margaret Fogelberg, said the cancer has spread to his bones and he is being treated at Harvard Medical School.
