Dan Fogelberg Obituary
His death was announced Sunday in a statement by Anna Loynes of the Solters & Digney public relations agency, and was also posted on the singer's Web site.
"Dan left us this morning at 6:00 a.m. He fought a brave battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with his wife Jean at his side," it read. "His strength, dignity and grace in the face of the daunting challenges of this disease were an inspiration to all who knew him."
Fogelberg discovered he had advanced prostate cancer in 2004. In a statement then, he thanked fans for their support: "It is truly overwhelming and humbling to realize how many lives my music has touched so deeply all these years. ... I thank you from the very depths of my heart."
Fogelberg's music was powerful in its simplicity. He did not rely on the volume of his voice to convey his emotions; instead, they came through in the soft, tender delivery and his poignant lyrics. Songs like "Same Old Lang Syne" - in which a man reminisces after meeting an old girlfriend by chance during the holidays - became classics not only because of his performance, but for the engaging storyline, as well.
Fogelberg's heyday was in the 1970s and early 80s, when he scored several platinum and multiplatinum records fueled by such hits as "The Power of Gold" and "Leader of the Band," a touching tribute he wrote to his father, a bandleader. Fogelberg put out his first album in 1972.
Fogelberg's songs tended to have a weighty tone, reflecting on emotional issues in a serious way. But in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 1997, he said it did not represent his personality.
"That came from my singles in the early '80s," he reflects. "I think it probably really started on the radio. I'm not a dour person in the least. I'm actually kind of a happy person. Music doesn't really reflect the whole person.
"One of my dearest friends is Jimmy Buffett. From his music, people have this perception that he's up all the time, and, of course, he's not. Jimmy has a serious side, too."
Later in his career, he would write material that focused on the state of the environment, an issue close to his heart. Fogelberg's last album was 2003's "Full Circle," his first album of original material in a decade. A year later he would receive his cancer diagnosis, forcing him to forgo a planned fall tour.

I have come to understand that there are 2 deaths. One when we die and one when no one longer says our name. I think Dan will long be alive in so many folks´ hearts and minds, but rest well and know that you remain with us in spirit.

Thank you Dan, for my youth!! When I listen to your music I see myself as a young man newly married and at peace with nature, myself and everyone around me. Thank you for my youth. I feel young when I listen to your music.
Thanks,

I realize it´s been nearly 20 years since Dan´s passing, so I hope this message is received well. I was just thinking about his music, and how much it meant to me when I was young. I was prompted to look him up, and was reminded that he has been gone for a while. For whomever might be reading this, I´m just a grateful fan acknowledging the special memories Dan blessed me, and so many others, with.

Wow, how the years pass so quickly. Every year about this time, I sit down at the piano, and re live "Same Old Lang Sine". Of all of Dan's songs.... I love them all, yet Old Lang Sine seems to touch me most, especially around Christmas / New Year. It is a poignant, and chilling, misty eyed classic. RIH Dan.

I remember I was shopping in a store and it came over the radio that Dan Fogelberg had passed away. Of course I couldn´t hold back my tears. I was so shocked and saddened. I´m 69 now and he was literally my favorite singer song writer musician. My first album was Home Free. Fast forward I just received a turn table/record player for Christmas this year and I´m sitting her listening to all my album collection and reminiscing. Such talent and gone way too soon

A few days ago, I rediscovered Dan's music after not hearing him for a very long time. I did not realize that it was the anniversary of his passing. The song was "Another Auld Lang Syne" and it was appropriate. Thank you Dan for the songs that touched our very hearts and souls.

My husband and I just returned from 3 glorious days in Deer Isle. It´s a long drive from Boston but I have wanted to visit ever since I heard that Dan Fogelberg lived there. It´s the most beautiful place I have visited in Maine. I have been going there since I was a teenager. Deer Isle is unlike anything else. I drove by Dan Fogelberg´s house and stopped nearby overlooking the water and listened to the Reach

His music engulfed me in the 70´s in So Cal, and still does. Never missed a concert. A true poet - and talented musician. Every year on Dec 16 , I spend at least half the day playing all his albums and I always celebrate him with a spot in my house on this day.

After listening to Netherlands I bought several other albums and then guitar songbooks to learn how to play his songs. I would sit in my bedroom as a teenager and teach myself The Raven and Part of the Plan and feel connected to him and the lyrics. Here I am 40+ years later and still listening to his music. It's timeless. Thank you Dan! To The Morning is still one of my favorites.

I´m 64 now...Dan was my favorite in my early teens and I can say he still lives in my heart...the album The Innocent Age is a masterpiece... all of his music is actually...I still have all of my vinyl of Dan...I saw him solo in Boulder, Colorado when I was 17...still gives me chills when I think of that concert. You are missed Dan. They have a beautiful voice up there in heaven. And we have beautiful memories of you. Thank you.

Downsizing music collection but will keep Dan's music. Listening now. Best singer writer musician of rock and melodic life changing music.

Saw DF at Waterloo Village 31 July 1988 w/family members who have passed on. 1981 at Brendan Byrne Arena E.Rutherford, NJ.........rock show. It's OK if you feel DF didn't get the attention you feel he was worthy of. He left a great legacy for the rest of us. Check out Noah Gundersen music if you want guitar/piano/voice and interesting lyrics.

Dan's music is in me head daily. I've lost count on how many times I graced his venues solo and with his band including performances with Tim Weisburg. Even though all were top notch performances, my favorites was Dan solo. I miss him deeply and know his voice is being heard in the heavens. Dan has always been my favorite musician since the young age of 13 and now at 63, he is still my favorite. My heart goes out to his wife, the love of his life, Jean Fogelberg. Dan, your legacy will live on forever...

His voice was one of a kind... Soothing, relaxing, and comfortable. And by all accounts, he was a legitimately good man, friend,and human being. I almost had a chance to interview him one late night in Bangor when he was due to fly into the airport, but sadly my editors told me not to bother to go out and try to interview him. It's one of my biggest regrets that I didn't go anyway. God bless Dan Fogelberg.

Thank you Dan for the enjoyment and beauty your music has added to my life. One of the best weeks ever was being at the beach with my family and capping it off with your 25th anniversary concert- it was truly my favorite concert. I´m so glad Jean shared the man behind the music first in her caregiver´s blog, and then during the pandemic. It´s crazy how talented you were in so many aspects of your life. You spread so much joy through your voice, your instruments, your quirky humor, your art and photography, seemingly the person you were. We were so lucky and grateful to be on the receiving end. And still are.

I loved his music, which was popular in the 70s, when I was a teen. Christmas music played on the radio each year simply would not be complete without his song Another Auld Lang Syne.

I loved his music. He was gorgeous. I am so sad that he died of cancer so young. What an awful journey that must have been. But he had the love of his life by his side. Jean Fogelberg now helps other caregivers. It´s a very tough role. I have been a caregiver myself and it is not easy. Beautiful man. Beautiful music. I still have his albums!

Dan Fogelberg´s songs are the one, still, that when they come on my satellite radio station, I stop what I´m doing and just take the time. The time to really listen; to think, feel, appreciate, remember and recall the loves in my life.
I will always give thanks for the richness this fine man has added to my life.
Mr. Fogelberg, you are remembered with thanksgiving ... and I bet, just about now, you may be taking life lessons from The Leader of the Band!

I listen to Dan's music Daily. Probably a late comer to appreciate in full. Made his music a priority in the mid 90's while raising my wonderful boy, (now 35) All Dan's music is my go to for daily living. I read all Jean's blog. but I wish I had been really involved early on, all I do now is think how much more emotionally mature I could have been had I had the time to really listen, before

Dan´s music could blast me up into another time zone where our young family was just finding it´s footings. His rich voice soothed my soul. My husband playfully named his new Palm Tree "Rosie" as a tribute to one of Dan´s songs about a jilted band member. Our earthly home lost out on his future masterpieces. Perhaps Dan will introduce us to new hits in our Heavenly Home.

Every time I hear one of your tunes , I recall a lady i was with, ie a soundtrack of my life and my Julie has bee the one for over 3 decades. your songs have shouted in my ear during major life events, way back to my time in the service during the waning years of Nam, the marriage, the birth of my 2 adult children, the depression leading to divorce, and the joys of rediscovery and remarriage...your melodies accompanied the singular events of my life like a tag along balladeer, and a virtuoso one to boot. Rest easy, old friend and someday we'll meet so I can hug and thank you for all the classy and poignant accompaniments youve blessed us with. There will never be another Dan Fogelberg in my lifetime.

I just learned from other posts that Dan's birthday was August 13. Dan Fogelberg was the one artist my husband and I both shared as a favorite, discovering him at different times in our lives, but enjoying him together throughout our own marriage. My husband passed away on December 31, 2020, and his birthday on August 6 was extremely difficult. Knowing now that both Dan and my husband were of the Leo astrological sign seems fitting, as my husband shared a deep awareness and understanding of personal emotions and the need for environmental stability. RIP Dan, and RIP my beautiful husband -- until we meet again.

I miss Dan so very much. I had always hoped to see him in concert and never got the chance. To this day I regret that. I loved all of his music and his beautiful voice. My favorite songs: "Song From Half Mountain", "The Netherlands" and "Dancing Shoes". The latter had incredibly sad memories for me at the time it came out (sad break-up) but years later I became friends with that person again. Ironically it was that same person who turned me on to Dan Fogelberg in the first place.
Rest In Peace oh gentle soul.
Fondly,

I stumbled upon Jean's memoirs "All The Time In The World" ... one afternoon - and read the ENTIRE manuscript in one night. I couldn't stop at one chapter - without going on to the next ... and the next one after that; until I had read every word. Poignant. Beautiful words - for a man who many of us loved through his music. Her words revealing the humble side, the person he was out of the spotlight. I believe they truly were "soul mates". Jean ... although it's been 13 1/2 years - I am certain your heart still carries that love & devotion, forevermore. This many years later - my condolences to you. I cried when I read HIS story as only you could tell it; and in reading the hardships you'd endured afterwards - my heart broke for you. The beautiful ranch he'd built that you two had made so many wonderful memories - to the house by the sea in Maine.

Dear Dan, writing this additional tribute to you,and your family, (as I had written to you 13 years ago tomorrow), with remembrance of your peaceful passing, to again say that we are so very thankful and appreciative of the musical legacy you have left behind for your family, friends, and fans. Have all your albums - (and saw you in several wonderful concerts in the 1980’s), so many of your songs evoke special memories for us both, ( music that “got us through” our high school, and college years), but songs that still reasonate with sweet sensitivity for us! You were a sublime musician and storyteller combined! Right now, have been enjoying your Christmas album , “the first Christmas morning”, which is our favorite Christmas album which we enjoy listening to every year!
May your spirit always live on through your music for generations to come!
Always enjoyed your visual artwork as well, especially on the inside covers of “Souvenirs”.

I was 10 years old when i first heard of Dan Folger ..My older brother loved music . He bought this album The innocent age and I played this album non stop for months. Years later in a club in Salthill. Galway. Ireland (where i am from) I hear "same old lang syne" And it brought me back to my very happy youth.. And now every time i hear songs from that album The memories it brings back. Some years later I was in a record store in Dublin and saw the CD version of The Innocent Age and i actually bought it for my brother for Christmas. He loved it and it took him back years to memories of a happy home which we have all moved away from over the years. We still live close enough but Dan Fogelberg was a big part of our growing upmin Galway Ireland. Thank you for the Beautiful Music lyrics and most of all Great Memories.. Same old lang Syne will always be a favourite as it always take me back to a guy and a place long gone. I will still play those songs with fondness... Hope the music is good where ever you are. Rip.

I believe it was in 2001, you were in San Diego playing at San Diego State University Outdoor Amptheater. Before the concert started I talked to the gentleman running the board about what module he was using for your vocal effects. He said it was used minimally. After the concert was over an many people had left, my wife and I hung out to see if we could talk with him. I am a musician and lived in San Diego playing at various places in San Diego County. Dan and I talked briefly, I told him I covered many of his songs and hopefully did them justice. Katherine was calm but nervous meeting him. Katherine knew some actors because she worked in her Junior and Senior year at the Old Globe in San Diego. She got to know Christopher Reeves. Dan was unassuming and really just the way people described him, soft spoken. As things would happen, in July of 2002 Katherine was diagnosed with a very bad type of cancer called Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma and she died on August 13, 2002. She also met Dewey and Gerry from America and saw James Taylor play at the same Amphitheater at San Diego State which was probably less than 2 miles away from our home. I am glad she got to meet Dan.
