Dear Dan and Jean,  I hope you are both well.  Dan, you have been a prophet over the years, bringing forth your messages of the mysteries of  love and life for all our hearts and souls.  Your songs have carried me through some heartaches, and I mean that!  You know there are many  people who feel the same, and they think of you for that.  So please continue to find some measure of wellness every day for all you have done in this world, for there is a
difference between a cure and a sense of inner wellness.   We love you! ~ Joe   

Dear Dan, my constant prayers for you. I could never adequately express how much your music has meant to me over the years. It's a gift that just keeps on giving. My children love you too. We look forward to that next album whenever it be. Godspeed. ~ Cindy from Ojai, CA

Dan... Hope that you are doing better. Have been a true blue listener of your songs for many years....lived in Peoria and now Pekin for several years. A friend of mine knew your Dad and showed me the place where my favorite song of yours was written about. Hope you are better...and wish the best for you and your family. ~ Mary from Peoria

Dear Dan and all of you who are fighting all types of diseases.  Please look into the "Gerson Therapy".  I just listened to a radio program and the author of the book "Healing for the Hopeless", Howard Straus, was completely incredible. He is the grandson of Max Gerson, who inspired the "Gerson Therapy".  I urge you all to at least look in to this because, as Howard said, there is ALWAYS hope as long as we're alive!  My prayers are with you, Dan - I love your music and spirit so much!!! ~ Debi

Dan and Jean - May Moneto watch over you and your family and friends. You are a great friend to the People. ~ Shawnee T  Ohio

I just read the biography and it helped me appreciate your music to a lot greater level - most especially the part about when you wrote Nether Lands, which is my favorite.   I am very familiar with the early music - the first 5 or 6 CD's, with my personal favorites being Home Free, Nether Lands and Souvenirs.  I purchased Captured Angel,  and Phoenix and need to listen to those more and I am sure I will come to enjoy those also.   I plan on purchasing Full Circle.   I am very sorry
about the illness and did not even know until I read the homepage.  Your music is truly amazing and I will enjoy it throughout my lifetime.  I will keep my thoughts with you and will plan on keeping up with you via the webpage. ~ Rhonda Watson

Dan, I am sure you will have heard what I have to say many, many times, but I feel like adding my voice to the chorus.  I have enjoyed, and continue to enjoy, your music for many years.  Your songs are inspiring and your voice a treasure.  I wish you well and a long and comfortable future. ~ Paul Lukehart, Reading, PA

Dan, I remember when you worked at Byerly Music in Peoria Illinois in the record department many years ago. My grandfather, Eldred Byerly,  owned that business.  I have followed your music career over the years.  I have all your albums and your music is just a fresh today has it was when I bought the music many years ago.  I will keep you in my prayers as you battle your cancer praying to God for your full recovery. This cancer hits home with me because that is the cancer my Grandfather got many years ago. Your encouragement for men to get a yearly PSA test is so important. My God bless
you.  ~ Jeff Ringness, Peoria IL

Dear Dan and Jean, once again I send my prayers to you.  I truly hope you are well on the road to recovery.  Your music is so incredible!  Since I learned of your cancer several months ago, I have been collecting your albums and finally have all of them (so far!).  Wow, what a treasure!  Your talent is surely a gift from God.  Each album is fantastic.  You give so much of yourself on each song.  I was always a fan, but I've missed so much.  I only wish I could see you in concert. Please take care and continue to improve.  Eat healthy, pray every day, and know that we all love you. ~ Kathy in WV

Dan; As my life gets less hectic (kids moving on, etc.) and things settle down, I search my music library for memories and comfortable feelings. More often than not I pick out one of you cd's. It brings me back to a place that makes me feel good. So many wonderful memories! My thoughts & prayers are with you. Please kick this thing! I need to see you in concert again at Red Rocks! ~ Steve from Boulder

Dan and Jean, I haven't heard how you are doing recently, but you have been on my mind a great deal. I hope you continue to heal and get stronger every day. The World needs your bright spirit now more than ever.

I have no idea why, but your songs have always helped me celebrate and helped me get through some of the most lovely and sad times of my life.  When "Longer" came out, I was in my first serious relationship, when "Leader of the Band" came out my father was dying from lymphoma and I have to tell you, I don't know that I would have made it through losing him (I was a Daddy's girl), if not for you and that song. To this day, when I hear that song I think of him and smile (and cry a little). "Sweet Magnolia"  and "Believe in Me" found me in another serious relationship, and the whole album of "Exiles" got me through a very painful divorce."Forefathers" was especially poignant for me as I would look at my young son and wish he could have known my father- his Grandfather. And I wanted to let you know that once again, through your illness, you have shown me the way. I suppose it could be that all humans live something of parallel lives. Maybe that is why your music reflects what so many of us, your fans, have gone through in our lives, following what would seem to have been your path. I recently learned my doctor suspects I may have leukemia.  I gave in for about a day and a half, letting the fear take over, then I listened to "To the Morning" (and the whole Home Free album). It gave me peace. Thank you for helping me pull it together for my kids. For that and for all the beautiful music you have shared with the world, I am eternally grateful.

 Dan, I continue to pray for your complete recovery. Jean I pray for you as well.  Many blessings ~ Julie Hopkins, Little Rock, AR

As a struggling, 58 year old guitar 'strummer' who daily wishes he had stayed with music instead of living a 'normal' life, there are times when I've wished arthritis strike your fingers. Your mastery of guitar, piano, composition and lyrics has made me jealous as hell ever since the first time I heard 'Looking for a Lady.'  As one whose father and paternal uncle both had prostate cancer, I live in terror each year when its time for my PSA test.  I can only imagine what you are feeling, but do know that you have people who care, and pray, for you. ~ Dan Layton, Albany, NY

Dear Dan and family, I just wanted you to know that I've followed your career since I first heard " Wysteria" back in the 70's in Hawaii. My husband and I have seen you perform many times from Hawaii to Pennsylvania. You have always had a fantastic show and your music just moves me. I think I know every word to every song! I even took friends to one concert because they said they had never heard of you but each song you sang they would look at me and say "I didn't know he sang that song!" Your music has been a part of my life for over thirty years and now that you are not performing I am so glad that I've seen you all of the times that I did. We wish you the best of luck with your illness and hope to be the first to see you if you decide to perform again. All our love and best wishes ~ Bob and Judy Labs

Dan...my name is Keith Stegall. I'm a songwriter and record producer in Nashville. I just wanted to extend my thoughts and prayers to you. Besides a little advice from Kristofferson to move to Nashville,.it was the work that you did on Home Free with Norbert that inspired me to move to music city. Thanks for your gift of music and for your spirit ~ Keith

Dan,  I have thrived on your music for several decades.  It always seems to touch and revive my soul like the divine spirit stirring within me.  Not everyone has the blessing of knowing that they are doing the thing in this world that they were born to do.  However, every time I listen to your music that I love so much, I marvel over and over of how it seems to me that you were created to do this - and you touch so many people in a way that lasts a lifetime.  God bless you for following the calling of your heart.

I hope that you are doing well in your fight with prostate cancer.  I was diagnosed with it just this past February, so I know a bit of the impact it might have had on your life. A few times when I have been hit with the reality of it, I have been blessed with the message of faith that has come through your song "Don't Lose Heart..."  It lifted me up and strengthened my resolve to see this as another challenge to take on and find a way see the miracle of life through it.  I have a very good doctor and so far the outlook is promising for the future.  I pray the Lord's healing hand is on your shoulder.  You have
certainly touched my life through your music.  I pray the grace and faithfulness of God's love will bless and reside with you and Jean.  Thank you for the years of expressing your gifts for all our enjoyment.  You truly are a gift to all of us!! ~ Jeff in Missouri

Dan, may God bless you and keep you in His way for all your days.  You can beat it!

Hi Dan, I, like you have been diagnosis with a form of cancer. Mine is Melanoma (skin cancer).I've had the surgery to remove the spot on my back and a wide margin of skin around it.The good news is that they removed the lymph node it was draining to and it had no sign of cancer. My surgery doctor says I have an 80% chance that the cancer won't come back. I go to see a true cancer doctor this Thurs. to see what else I need. My pact with you is if you get back up on stage to sing...I'll be in the crowd no matter where it is. I always felt indestructible and strong at your concerts when we were young. I want to feel that way again! Something in Common ~ Jerry

You are and have been one of my very favorite artist ever If I am down or need something to make me feel good all I have to do is play Fogelberg and I am instantly better. Both my husband and myself think  you are one of the  greatest musicians of all time. My husband also is a musician and plays your  music. Just know that  our thoughts and prayers are with you. We feel very positive about you and your treatments. Keep your chin up and please please keep writing your beautiful  music. I think the music will heal you as much as the medicines. Dan Fogelberg,  you are loved by so many for your wonderful talent both singing and  writing. Stay positive......you will lick this! Get well soon!!! ~ Andrea and David  Kurtz

Dear Dan and Jean; I thank you for your music,harmony,love,peace.and the beauty in your heart, which you put into your songs and shared with us. I pray that you are healed and that this experience will inspire you to keep on playing. It is truly a gift from God. You can't return it,so might as well figure out a way to use it. I play guitar and sing in Lafayette,Louisiana. Come see your friends down here when you feel better. We would love it. My prayers are with you! ~  Lisa Shannon

Dear Dan, We were just sitting here on a lazy Sunday afternoon listening to our favorite music and of course yours was amongst them.  We spoke about how some music can immediately take you back to another place.  In this crazy world, we thank you for letting us return to a place that's safe, warm, familiar and wherein lies our youth.  While we still had so many hopes and dreams for the future.  Please know that your music allows us to reawaken those hopes and dreams, making us realize we're never too old or settled to have those dreams. You continue to inspire us even thirty years later.  We want you to know that you are in our thoughts, hearts and prayers, and that we wish for you special blessings. May the goodness and joy you have given and continue to give the world come back to you ten fold.  Warm Wishes & Friendship ~   Carolyn & Carole, Staten Island, NY

Dan, I hope you are winning your battle and that your health is improving every day.  I was just reading some of your other good wishes and I, like others, have been so touched by your music.  I discovered you in the late '70's  when I
was in high school.  Every time I hear your songs, it takes me back  to my youth.  Your songs were/are so poetic and soothing.  I only got  to see you once down at U of I in the early '80's when I was in college. It was a fantastic show and I still remember it.  I send you and your  wife love, prayers, and hope.  Thanks for all you've given me ~  Jennifer , Kankakee, IL
