Singer Gordon Lightfoot, a Canadian 'rare talent,' dies at 84 (Video)
Folk singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, a Canadian icon who Bob Dylan once referred to as a "rare talent," passed away in Toronto on Monday.
Lightfoot was 84 years old. Representative Victoria Lord confirmed that Lightfoot died at a Toronto hospital early Tuesday morning, but did not elaborate on his cause of death. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was quick to offer tribute to the musician on Twitter.
"We have lost one of our greatest singer-songwriters," Trudeau wrote. "Gordon Lightfoot captured our country’s spirit in his music – and in doing so, he helped shape Canada’s soundscape. May his music continue to inspire future generations, and may his legacy live on forever."
Lightfoot secured five Grammy nominations during his career, as well as winning the Canadian equivalent, the Juno award, 17 times.
