Belated best wishes from me too but
Yes yes Dell me boy it's hard to believe anything at all on that website which is apparently some sort of parody of the wonderfully inventive, highly amusing and therefore entertaining Globe Magazine:-

Their other stories about Gord include a claim that Kim was sporting baby bump on New Years Eve and the following elaboration of Gord's wealth as previously alluded to here by Char
Gordon Lightfoot Highest-Paid Singer in the World
see:-
http://en.mediamass.net/people/gordo...hest-paid.html


"It's been a rough year for the singer, but at least he has his millions of dollars to ease the pain. 76-year-old Gordon Lightfoot has taken the No. 1 spot on People With Money’s top 10 highest-paid singers for 2015 with an estimated $58 million in combined earnings.
Gordon Lightfoot tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2012 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (January 1) that Lightfoot is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between December 2013 and December 2014, a nearly $30 million lead over his closest competition.
People With Money’s factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The Canadian singer-songwriter-musician-poet has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the "Fat Lightfoot Burger" chain) in Ottawa, a Football Team (the "Orillia Angels"), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlightfoot - Canada), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Gordon) and a fashion line called "Gordon Lightfoot Seduction".
The ranking is significant for many Gordon fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime."

I like the "update" from 03/01/2015 that this (financial) information is apparently incorrect. Lol. No duh. I thought I was reading The Onion.

So did Gordon Lightfoot Secretly get Married?
　
I have googled this news but cannot find any official report of this alleged momentous event and mediamass have obviously completely invented their claimed
"Reports from the Ottawa Daily News yesterday (January 11, 2015), "
because that seem to be an entirely fictional newspaper
However If it were true then no doubt surely our corfid member
Kenyon Wallace whose linked in profile stresses that he is an
"Investigative Journalist at Toronto Star"
should by now have produced something.....anything in print in that authoritative Toronto medium, even if only a complete debunking report??

How's about it Kenyon??
Any comment at all at all??

John - did you see the announcement from the church where the wedding occurred? it is in the FIRST post of this thread.
Mediamass is crap.

Of course I read and inwardly digested the church's allegations
and of course I realized (since when silly spellchecker is realized spelt with a zed (zee)??)that mediamass is basically rather enjoyable speculative horse droppings
but the point is that surely that if a national icon such as Gordon really has remarried it merits full reporting by the mass media CBC the Star etc.
How do you know that the Church was not itself flying a very holy hole-y kite?
I maintain that if it indeed really took place (and hope it did) there is presumably a church registry record that somebody who is used to "investigative" activities can verify either at the church or online.

[Melissa]

Gee, if the church says they were married there, that's good enough for me. Why would the church make that up?

Melissa

[charlene]

unless Lightfoot made it a point to notify the press there'd really not be much interest in the fact that he re-married except for a small blurb in one of those little side notes in the paper...
and there hasn't been so the church announcement is what I'm going by...
Really John - do you think a church is going to put out false info like that about one of it's most well known congregants? We have privacy laws in this country...
I'll see the newlyweds this saturday and sunday...

[Melissa]

Oooh, that's right - Hugh's Room shows this weekend! Should be great. Wish I could be there, but it's way too cold up there for me!

Melissa

[charlene]

it's too freaking cold for me too! lol.. extreme cold alerts are happening! ugh. But once inside Hugh's it's warm and toasty and the music is sublime.These shows have been starting my new year off since 2003! hard to believe this is the 13th set of shows... man oh man...
it's worth heading to TO in the bitter cold!!

Don't even see why he should notify the public about his personal life anyhow.

[charlene]

exactly - he shouldn't, nor would he. he's never been one to seek press other than to pump a new release..

[charlene]

at Hugh's Room in January - Gordon with Meredith and Kim...

[formerlylavender]

Great picture...Kim looks nice, well they all do. Thanks for posting.

[lighthead2toe]

This is a beautiful photo.

An abundance of happiness in those very happy looking faces.

[JohninCt.]

Thanks Charlene, that is a nice photo, she's a peach for sure.
