We have seen you in concert many times at Red Rocks here, in Colorado, many times over the years.  I cannot tell you what your music has meant to my husband and I!!  Our prayers are with you and we hope you are well.  God Bless. ~ LouAnn and Greg Schentag, Parker, Colorado

I saw you do a solo concert in Bowling Green, Ohio in the 70's,  and to this day it remains the greatest musical experience of my life. I thank  you for that and wish you all the best in your battle with prostate cancer. I read your "sermon" and will call my doctor Monday to set up an  exam. Good luck and God bless you Dan ~ Dan White

Dear Dan: I was unaware of your medical situation and am deeply saddened by it. You have been a big part of my life. Your music inspired me to be a songwriter back in 75 when I was just a member of a rock band. I pray for a full recovery for you. Please keep me and your other fans posted on your health. From another twin son from a different mother ~
Sandy Lieberman, Sherman Oaks, CA

Well we all here wondering when you'll tour after successfully beating your blight? We trust and pray that more of the wonderful music you've treated the world to will be played live!! Perhaps you'll even tour Australia. God's continued blessings to you and your family ~ Richard White and family (Richard 51 Christine 51 Nathan 25 and Daniel 22), Australia

I hope you know that many people respect and care for you...our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! ~ Cathy

Dear Dan and Jean, I cannot tell you how sad my husband James and I are over the cancer that has struck you.  I have been a fan since your first album was  released.  In the fall of 1981 I was able to introduce my best friend James Cox to your music.  I treated James to a concert outside of  Washington D.C. where we were grad students.  From  that time on James  was a fan too and became my handsome husband on May 28, 1982. Your music has meant so much to us over our 25 years of marriage.  We looked forward to your concerts and traveled to many places just to see you  perform live. What a treat your concerts were.  We continue to  listen to your music and it has seen us through many a good time as well as  trying times.

We miss your live performances so very much and pray for you  and Jean unceasingly.  May God's presence continue to be felt in your  life and God's grace upon grace be extended to you in this time of  illness.  May our risen Lord work miracles and be with you both. With love and prayers ~ Kate and James Cox

In addition to wishing you a Happy Anniversary (tomorrow) I wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers each day.  I cannot express the joy of having seen you perform many times but also in learning to play many of your songs myself that still resonate within my soul. Thank you for the gifts of your music, performances and for capturing the essence of the important things in life including the wonder at this beautiful planet and our responsibility in taking care of it for all. With Love, Admiration, and wishes of Peace ~ Bill Vernon, Greenwich, CT

I too keep checking to see how you're doing, and pray that all is well. I've loved you and your music since the days of Fool's Gold and Nederland, with "Stars" still being my favorite. Well, Twin Sons of Different Mothers is up there too. God bless you and your family, and be well. You made music approachable for normal people with real emotions. In Illinois, (but I'm not sure about Peoria!) we always called you Junior Vocal Chords for your phenomenal range. I hope you are using your music to help you feel better.

Wonderful memories. An elegant voice. Words of hope and joy - and life! The songs remain in our hearts and minds. Always with us, and never too far. They are part of our life. Thank you for your music --- my life has been blessed by your gift of song! Prayers & blessings ~ Ronnie, Colleyville, TX

Dear sir, I'm not one to write letters, and can barely understand how to use this computer. But I've sat down this night to let you know that I wish nothing but the best for you and your family. I discovered your  music in a stack of albums my stepfather had when I was 10 years old. That was 32 years ago. There are no words to describe how your music guided and shaped me through these many years, especially the younger years. As I got a new album when you released one, I would listen for hours and study the lyrics and composition until I could sing every harmony to every song (even if it didn't have one). I consider myself lucky to be 10 years old in 1972 to have grown up as your career was thriving. I've seen you in concert a few times from age 12 to your Full Circle tour in Biloxi a few years ago, and I have to say as a very strong independent woman, that your music helped to mold the person that I am today. If you never write another song, you will always be in my thoughts, as the most incredible musician, songwriter I have ever heard. I wholeheartedly hope that you are doing well and that you know your words and music more than just entertained me and actually touched my life. Sincerely (respectfully) ~ Lisa Douzart

Hi Dan, Loving thoughts from Sydney Australia. Your music has been an inspiration to me for a lifetime --pretty powerful
stuff. Keep your mind and spirit positive. We love you and see you soon... Love ~ Nevin

Dan & Jean - I have never done anything like this – but I was looking for the sheet music to "Next Time" (my 15 year old daughter plays piano and loves all my DF). That is when I saw a report on your Prostate Cancer. I was a  freshman in High School in 1974 when I heard "The River" (still one of my favorites) on WNEW in New York (Allison Steele) and raced out and bought Home Free.  I was at Carnegie in 1979 when you did not make one mistake (not one!). Just the Grand Piano and the Acoustics and you.  Awesome! May God be with you both through this trial – and may many more gifts of music be all of ours through your full recovery. ~ Bill Adams-Atlanta GA

Dan, I keep checking on your website from time to time to see if there is ever an update to whether you are doing better or if things have gotten worse for you. Would love to know how things are going. You are always in my  prayers and always playing in my car. Your music is such a gift and I am sure I am not alone when I say that you are missed.  ~ Denise

Dan, over the years your music has touched my heart and my soul. Your music transports me back to the best times of my life, and all of a sudden, I am back in high school again. You have a unique talent, one that very few people on this earth can ever hope to possess. You have touched so many people with your gift, and made our lives just a little better. I wish you only the best, and God willing you will beat this thing. God bless you and your family. Your friend ~ Chuck  

Dan, you have been such an inspiration to me, and so many others close to me who have been privileged to listen to your music.  The love, the pain, the joy, the peace, the beauty and the struggles you have portrayed in your music are such an awesome inspiration, and validation of my own feelings and thoughts.  You are a special gift to this world.  I wish you the best of all possible, and the joy and complete happiness that is so well deserved.  God Bless you and your family and friends. ~ Tim

I have spent my whole adult life listening to you and your music.  There are many of your songs that are a very large part of my life and the moments that your music brings back to me.  I am so sorry to hear of what you are going through.  My prayers for you and your family are in my heart and his music is part of my soul.  Thank you so much for all the wonderful songs that have touched my life.  It would not have been the same. ~ Kathie, Greeley, CO

Please tour again!  

My prayers are with you.  You have touched the world with your music. Thank You!!!!!

Dearest Dan, My name is Mary and I live in Florida. I am 46 years old.  The first time I ever saw you was when I was a little girl. An older cousin had pictures of you all over her bedroom. She used to let me come in and listen to your records with her. I fell in love with you and your music way back then and ever since then I have  been a faithful fan. Your music is special and you are a true musician.  Your music brings me to a special place....it allows me to escape just for a few minutes. Some of my fondest memories are triggered by one of your songs.

My heart breaks for you and your family, as my father had cancer.  It wasn't prostate but when it comes down to it, cancer is cancer and suffering is suffering no matter how it manifests I suppose.  But as much as he suffered and our family too, I have such bittersweet memories. I learned a lot through and.began to get closer to God. I took on a new appreciation of life especially the small things. Life is a gift...each moment. In my dad's dying days he only thought of what was most dear --his family. Although he was a successful man, the money and business took a backseat. I do want to say that he was diagnosed with stage 4 bone cancer and given 3 months to live and ended up living another 9 years cancer free. I don't know if you believe in God or not. I personally believe in Jesus and all I know is when I asked Him, he was gracious and let me have my daddy 9 more years. I am sure He is listening to you too. God Bless you and your family Dan. I pray that we could be blessed one more time to hear your beautiful music. We are anxiously waiting here in Florida (The King Center, Melbourne). Take care and know you are in our thoughts and prayers. ~ Mary

Dan, My prayers are with you each day.  God bless ~ Diana, #1 Indiana fan

Dear Dan, I hope this day finds you well and in good spirits. Your music is never far from any day in my life and I thank you so much for it. My mother was diagnosed with esophageal cancer when she was 88 years old. It does not have a very good recovery rate but she was optimistic. There were many precarious days during her treatment and I listened to your songs to ease my soul. I believe that, as you say, "There's magic every moment, there's a miracle each day". She had her 93rd birthday and is cancer-free at this time! I just wanted to share with you how much comfort your music gave to me during her hard fight and I know that you will also have your "miracle". My thoughts and prayers are always with you. Stay strong! Sincerely ~ Carol Bernal

Dear Dan,  Wishing you and your wife a very Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary this coming Saturday. God's Blessings to you both for a very long, happy, and healthy life together.  You (and your family) remain in my daily prayers for fully restored health.  Be well my friend, we miss you!!!  From a long time (since Home Free) loyal fan.  P.S. Remember you still have to do a "farewell tour".  Love ~ Nancy, IL

Dear Dan:  You could say that you are one of the reasons my husband and I met, got married, had two kids and even named one of them Dan! Our first date was a Dan Fogelberg concert back in 1981!  Your music has inspired us and soothed us and lifted us for over 25 years.  Thank you for your music, your heart, and your love in every song, and concert.  We are all thinking of you and hope you are healed and well.  Sincerely ~ Susan and Henri

Well, I could probably write a novel but I will try to keep it short. I just want to say that I was raised listening to and loving your music.  I am 25 years old, and my father is also a musician and taught me to love and appreciate beautiful music such as yours.  I own your entire collection and at least one of your cd's is always in my stereo.  I also own the Greetings from the West DVD and watch it frequently.  And when I first brought my son home from the hospital after he was born (even though I am a bad singer) I would sing him to sleep with "Leader of the Band."  You are an amazing musician and song writer and I wish you all the best on the road ahead.  You inspire us all.  I only had the pleasure of attending one of your concerts once when I was very young...I was not feeling very well at the time but I remember clearly insisting to my parents that I go anyways...and I did and I was in tears when it was over.  I hate to hear that you are sick, but I will continue to pray for you along with so many others that you have touched along the way.  Thank you for using your gift to give all of us such a wonderful gift.  Best wishes and much love. ~ Lea Ann - Appleton, WI

Dear Dan, Mr. Fogelberg sounds so strange for someone who is in my room and car every day with his songs and voice. You are much more like a family member. I know, that's an illusion but you feel so near. I have never been to a concert of yours, because you don't come to often to Holland. But I have been a fan of you for years and years. I have al the albums like Souvenirs, Nether Lands and The Innocent Age. I have enjoyed them over and over again with friends and family. Your music helped me through the most difficult periods of my life for example when my parents divorced. I have been on my bed in my dark room for hours and hours in my life with only your music in the room. It gave me rest and peace but also strength. It comforted me in dark moments. Thank you for all the nice music you gave to this world.

Now I have read about your illness and it shocked me. I wish you all the best, and I will pray for you become healthy again. It has to be, because we need you here and much more does your family need you here as the leader of the band. I wish you luck and health. ~ Peter Lage Venterink, Holland or The Netherlands.

Dear Dan, I started out this email with "Mr. Fogelberg" and realized I can address you by your first name even though we have never met.  I feel like I've known you for years as I've been listening to your music forever!  Your first three albums are my absolute favorites.  I would blast your music in my room, especially during my teenage years.  However, I still "blast" it traveling down the road from job site to job site.  I, too, was diagnosed with cancer (breast) at the young age of 43.  It is such a scary time!  The love and support of family and friends is what gets you through each day.  Just writing this makes my mouth water like it used to during my chemo treatments and it's been 4 years!!  I do know what you are going through and wish you all the best!  Jay says HI and he still sings "Nether Lands" and the man can't sing!  Trust me, I know.  His office is right next to mine!! All the best ~ Carla

Dan and family...my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all. Dan, I have loved your music since people were saying, "Dan who?"  Many of your songs have touched my life in such a special way.  Hearing them now, I am transported back to the time of my life when they were new. They help me hold so many memories closely.  God bless you ~ Rebecca

I have only just become fully aware of all your achievements, though I knew many of your songs already. Your music is classic American, definitely 'the right stuff' and a cure for all ills.  Long may you continue. ~  Aidan Manchester UK.

Dan, You and your family remain in our thoughts and prayers since your tour was canceled due to your diagnosis.
Please keep the faith and hopefully the positive vibes that your family, friends and fans send, can surround you in warmth and love during treatment. Thanks for touching our lives with your God given gift. You are a blessing to all of us and we wish you the best for a full recovery. Sincerely ~ Kathy & Chris Breisacher Tabernacle, NJ

I can't believe I did not know this.  I am so very sad and will pray for you and for your wife's strength through this.  I was 18 when I first sat mesmerized in Houston Texas in 1979 watching you in concert for the first time.  I have seen you live so many times and my first dance at my wedding 5 years ago was "A Love Like This."  Thank you for all of the pure joy your music has given me.

Dan, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God give you strength, healing, and his abundant blessings! Through your music you have forever touched millions of souls.  ~  Kim

My heart goes out to you and to your family.  My prayers will be ongoing for you.  All I want to hear is that you are OK, and will remain with us for many more years.  Your music has brought so many hours of pleasure; and I treasure the CD's I have, and if you don't feel the need for concerts or further recordings, OH Well!  I guess we'll all just have to learn to live
with YOUR choice.  Just do what ever it takes to get and stay well, and may the God of blessed good health smile upon you.

Dan, our thoughts and prayers are with you. ~ Rick and Andrea

Dan: When I was recently given an ipod, your songs were some of the first I downloaded from my CDs. Each one brings back special memories and good feelings.  Thank you for sharing your rich talent with the world.  As I searched for additional music of yours to download I read of your cancer diagnosis. You and your family are in my prayers. God bless you.  ~ Donna Wood, Arlington, TX

Dan: I found your site two years ago and am so happy that you  have updated with a place for friends to write. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, invasive stage 3 in July of 2006. My husband bought me an MP3 player for my birthday and I listen your music while I have my chemo treatments. Hope you are doing well. I have followed your career since 1970. God Bless you..~ Patti in California

Dear Mr. Fogelberg ~ The Holy Spirit has been bringing you to my mind off and on this month.  I thought I would see if you had a web site.  Sure enough there you were! Now I know why the Holy Spirit was prompting me.  I'm not sure where you're at with your faith.  What I can tell you is that I know ALL things are possible with God and nothing is too hard for Him.  I have seen Him heal people with "terminal" illness - with my own eyes I have seen this! My prayers are with you and Jean.  In Christ ~ Alyce

There aren't enough words for me to use that can possibly express the depth of feelings I feel for you and your music.  Wherever you go I would wish for an angel to have a hand on your shoulder to give you and your wife comfort.

Dan, Been listening to you since college in 1974 and I was on the class officer team at Seton Hill University. We work with the guys at St. Vincents to bring you to Latrobe in 1977 for our senior year concert. I've now come full circle myself and spend time in prayer at that campus as a part of a lay ministry of the Benedictine Monks. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. Your website has not been updated since 04 and it would be great to hear of your progress. My friends and family all know that if I'm ever diagnosed with any fatal disease, my last wish is to meet you - so stay strong - just turned 50 and heck, who knows what will happen at this point. Your music and lyrics have seen me through a lot over the years. If I don't meet you here, I'll look you up in heaven. God Bless. ~ Joan

Dear Dan - I am hoping that you are doing well and I am sending many prayers your way.  I know you hear this from everyone, but I am your biggest fan.  My husband and I have seen you in concert many times, in many different places. Your songs hold deep meaning to me, and I am sure you realize how important your music has been to a whole generation.  We wish you the best and  will be keeping you in our thoughts. Please take care ~ Jill Meredith

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Dan.  I pray that you make a full recovery! I believe in the miracle of prayer and positive energy!  Hugs ~ Maria

Dan, Hang in there.  I haven't seen any updates recently on your recovery, so I am hoping that no news is good news.  You're in my prayers.  I'm a fellow Peorian and a lifelong fan.  Here's hoping you continue to get better, grab your guitar and hit the road! With love and appreciation ~ John

You have touched me.  You have touched my family.  You have touched my co-workers.  You have touched my friends.  Realize this...It is the art of people like you that move us all forward.   What awaits us on the other side is debatable, but it is my belief that it is good. Where we are going is good. As I am sure you know, this doesn't mean we are insulated from pain or suffering along the way.  It just means that eventually, there is light. Thank you for helping me and all those others.
~ Don R.

Hallo! May GOD Bless you and thank you for all your wonderful music. ~ Sune Lindberg, Skelleftea, Sweden

We have seen you in concert many times at Red Rocks here, in Colorado, many times over the years.  I cannot tell you what your music has meant to my husband and I!!  Our prayers are with you and we hope you are well.  God Bless. ~ LouAnn and Greg Schentag, Parker, Colorado

Dear Dan, Mr. Fogelberg sounds so strange for someone who is in my room and car every day with his songs and voice. You are much more like a family member. I know, that's an illusion but you feel so near. I have never been to a concert of yours, because you don't come to often to Holland. But I have been a fan of you for years and years. I have al the albums like Souvenirs, Nether Lands and The Innocent Age. I have enjoyed them over and over again with friends and family. Your music helped me through the most difficult periods of my life for example when my parents divorced. I have been on my bed in my dark room for hours and hours in my life with only your music in the room. It gave me rest and peace but also strength. It comforted me in dark moments. Thank you for all the nice music you gave to this world.

Now I have read about your illness and it shocked me. I wish you all the best, and I will pray for you become healthy again. It has to be, because we need you here and much more does your family need you here as the leader of the band. I wish you luck and health. ~ Peter Lage Venterink, Holland or The Netherlands.

Dear Dan, I started out this email with "Mr. Fogelberg" and realized I can address you by your first name even though we have never met.  I feel like I've known you for years as I've been listening to your music forever!  Your first three albums are my absolute favorites.  I would blast your music in my room, especially during my teenage years.  However, I still "blast" it traveling down the road from job site to job site.  I, too, was diagnosed with cancer (breast) at the young age of 43.  It is such a scary time!  The love and support of family and friends is what gets you through each day.  Just writing this makes my mouth water like it used to during my chemo treatments and it's been 4 years!!  I do know what you are going through and wish you all the best!  Jay says HI and he still sings "Nether Lands" and the man can't sing!  Trust me, I know.  His office is right next to mine!! All the best ~ Carla

Dan and family...my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all. Dan, I have loved your music since people were saying, "Dan who?"  Many of your songs have touched my life in such a special way.  Hearing them now, I am transported back to the time of my life when they were new. They help me hold so many memories closely.  God bless you ~ Rebecca

I have only just become fully aware of all your achievements, though I knew many of your songs already. Your music is classic American, definitely 'the right stuff' and a cure for all ills.  Long may you continue. ~  Aidan Manchester UK.

Dan, You and your family remain in our thoughts and prayers since your tour was canceled due to your diagnosis.
Please keep the faith and hopefully the positive vibes that your family, friends and fans send, can surround you in warmth and love during treatment. Thanks for touching our lives with your God given gift. You are a blessing to all of us and we wish you the best for a full recovery. Sincerely ~ Kathy & Chris Breisacher Tabernacle, NJ

I can't believe I did not know this.  I am so very sad and will pray for you and for your wife's strength through this.  I was 18 when I first sat mesmerized in Houston Texas in 1979 watching you in concert for the first time.  I have seen you live so many times and my first dance at my wedding 5 years ago was "A Love Like This."  Thank you for all of the pure joy your music has given me.

Dan, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God give you strength, healing, and his abundant blessings! Through your music you have forever touched millions of souls.  ~  Kim

My heart goes out to you and to your family.  My prayers will be ongoing for you.  All I want to hear is that you are OK, and will remain with us for many more years.  Your music has brought so many hours of pleasure; and I treasure the CD's I have, and if you don't feel the need for concerts or further recordings, OH Well!  I guess we'll all just have to learn to live
with YOUR choice.  Just do what ever it takes to get and stay well, and may the God of blessed good health smile upon you.

Dan, our thoughts and prayers are with you. ~ Rick and Andrea

Dan: When I was recently given an ipod, your songs were some of the first I downloaded from my CDs. Each one brings back special memories and good feelings.  Thank you for sharing your rich talent with the world.  As I searched for additional music of yours to download I read of your cancer diagnosis. You and your family are in my prayers. God bless you.  ~ Donna Wood, Arlington, TX

Dan: I found your site two years ago and am so happy that you  have updated with a place for friends to write. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, invasive stage 3 in July of 2006. My husband bought me an MP3 player for my birthday and I listen your music while I have my chemo treatments. Hope you are doing well. I have followed your career since 1970. God Bless you..~ Patti in California

Dear Mr. Fogelberg ~ The Holy Spirit has been bringing you to my mind off and on this month.  I thought I would see if you had a web site.  Sure enough there you were! Now I know why the Holy Spirit was prompting me.  I'm not sure where you're at with your faith.  What I can tell you is that I know ALL things are possible with God and nothing is too hard for Him.  I have seen Him heal people with "terminal" illness - with my own eyes I have seen this! My prayers are with you and Jean.  In Christ ~ Alyce

There aren't enough words for me to use that can possibly express the depth of feelings I feel for you and your music.  Wherever you go I would wish for an angel to have a hand on your shoulder to give you and your wife comfort.

Dan, Been listening to you since college in 1974 and I was on the class officer team at Seton Hill University. We work with the guys at St. Vincents to bring you to Latrobe in 1977 for our senior year concert. I've now come full circle myself and spend time in prayer at that campus as a part of a lay ministry of the Benedictine Monks. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. Your website has not been updated since 04 and it would be great to hear of your progress. My friends and family all know that if I'm ever diagnosed with any fatal disease, my last wish is to meet you - so stay strong - just turned 50 and heck, who knows what will happen at this point. Your music and lyrics have seen me through a lot over the years. If I don't meet you here, I'll look you up in heaven. God Bless. ~ Joan

Dear Dan - I am hoping that you are doing well and I am sending many prayers your way.  I know you hear this from everyone, but I am your biggest fan.  My husband and I have seen you in concert many times, in many different places. Your songs hold deep meaning to me, and I am sure you realize how important your music has been to a whole generation.  We wish you the best and  will be keeping you in our thoughts. Please take care ~ Jill Meredith

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Dan.  I pray that you make a full recovery! I believe in the miracle of prayer and positive energy!  Hugs ~ Maria

Dan, Hang in there.  I haven't seen any updates recently on your recovery, so I am hoping that no news is good news.  You're in my prayers.  I'm a fellow Peorian and a lifelong fan.  Here's hoping you continue to get better, grab your guitar and hit the road! With love and appreciation ~ John

You have touched me.  You have touched my family.  You have touched my co-workers.  You have touched my friends.  Realize this...It is the art of people like you that move us all forward.   What awaits us on the other side is debatable, but it is my belief that it is good. Where we are going is good. As I am sure you know, this doesn't mean we are insulated from pain or suffering along the way.  It just means that eventually, there is light. Thank you for helping me and all those others.
~ Don R.

Hallo! May GOD Bless you and thank you for all your wonderful music. ~ Sune Lindberg, Skelleftea, Sweden
