Prostate cancer took this young 56 year old singer/songwriter. It has been said that had it been caught earlier, Dan might have survived. As a prostate cancer survivor I was diagnosed at age 47 (quite by accident). Fogelberg's diagnosis happened when he was 52 and by then it was in advanced stages. As a professional speaker ( http://www.chuckgallagher.com ) I have the opportunity to speak to groups nation wide. While my presentations don't center around this disease, I use every opportunity available to encourage men to get checked early and often. A simple blood test done soon enough could mean the difference between life and death. The Leader of the Band has died. Prostate cancer took this young 56 year old singer/songwriter.

His writing about music, though (when he focuses on music and not the music business), can be moving. He just posted something quite good, something that's kinda-sorta about Fogelberg, but really kinda-sorta more about life and love and such. I thought it was pretty cool.

And "Leader of the Band" might as well have been about my father.

Souvenirs, Nether Lands and High Country Snows are all 5-star albums. RIP. I think I'll spin the box set in his honor today.
