Orillia’s son, crooner Gordon Lightfoot, is coming home for a long-awaited makeup concert at the Orillia Opera House on Dec. 3, 2005.

One of two scheduled benefit concerts in September 2002 was cancelled after Lightfoot was rushed to McMaster University Medical Centre in Hamilton for emergency stomach surgery.
The Orillia-born singer, then 63, was slated to perform a benefit concert that night for The Sunshine Festival Theatre Company and Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital.

Those who have kept their original tickets are in luck. They will be honoured at this year’s concert, set for 8 p.m. in the Lightfoot Auditorium.

All remaining tickets will be on sale at the Opera House box office, starting March 21 at 11 a.m., on a first-come basis. Tickets are $40 a person. For more details, call 326-8011.

See ya on Dec.3 Gord!
