EDITOR'S NOTE: MR. LIGHTFOOT'S DEATH WAS REPORTED TODAY BY THE NATIONAL POST, VANCOUVER SUN, CANOE.COM AND OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS TODAY. HOWEVER, MOST OF THESE OUTLETS HAVE NOW REMOVED THEIR STORIES. THIS ARTICLE IS NO LONGER LIVE ON SOOTODAY.COM UNTIL THE FACTS ARE DETERMINED.
Bernie Fielder, Gordon Lightfoot's long-time friend, some-time publicist and road manager, said at 2:40 p.m. ET that the singer-songwriter was very much alive and in Toronto. Indeed, he claimed Lightfoot's secretary had spoken with the artist “just a half-an-hour ago.”

Mr. Fiedler claimed in a phone conversation that the death report was “a prank” originating as “a Twitter coming out of Ottawa.” He indicated a media release might be issued soon putting the rumour of Mr. Lightfoot's death to rest.

Mr. Fiedler also has been Lightfoot's concert promoter and tour organizer.

More to come

It would seem that the tales of his death were greatly exaggerated. :D

Good to know- it hit whats called a "Readspike" on the Bloomberg Terminal when it crossed the wires (that means the story was picked up and read across 50 companies with 500 people in 5 minutes). Am I able to edit the title?

I actually thought he had passed on.... long before this. I remember hearing he had suffered a stroke but nothing much more afterwards, so I automatically assumed it was fatal. Glad to know I was wrong.
