Toronto -- Gordon Lightfoot seems to have bounced back from the severe health problems that have laid him low since 2002, if a recently announced concert tour of North America is any indication.
Lightfoot, 65, is set to start a 33-date swing next Friday at the Sycuan Resort and Casino in El Cajon, Calif. Other dates include a four-night stand at Las Vegas's Orleans Casino Apr. 28-May 1, four previously announced concerts at Toronto's Massey Hall May 18-21, and three performances Sept. 15-17 at the Nugget Casino Resort in northern Nevada.
The tour, which also includes dates in the U.S. Midwest, Northeast and West Coast in August, September and October, ends with appearances in Stratford, Ont., and Lightfoot's home town, Orillia, Ont., on Dec. 2 and 3, respectively.
Lightfoot recently told Billboard he's been rehearsing with his band since December last year. "Things are booked, so I have to be there."
