I was coming here to post that article.

I guess I wasn't around for a while, but I don't remember hearing about Gord having a stroke in 2006? Was it news around here or is this the first we're hearing about it?

About Terry's health issues. Gord says they could see it coming for the last year and a half and I remember a post last year from someone saying that they were worried about Terry, because is playing seemed quite off. With all that warning, I wish there was something that could have been done to save him, but I guess if it was possible, they would have.

Its really great that Gord is working at nearly 72 years of age. I've mentioned the German singer that I like Till Lindemann a few times here and its funny , he's 48 and people are already talking about how "old" he's getting and here Gord is a year older then Till's mother and still going out on the road. What an amazing man.
