Rock icon and folk singer, Gordon Lightfoot, died at 84 in a Toronto hospital on Monday.
Lightfoot’s representative said the cause of death has not been released, Daily Mail reports.
The Canadian musician became famous in the 1960s and 1970s with hits like ‘Early Morning Rain’ and ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’.
Lightfoot recorded 20 studio albums and penned hundreds of songs, including ‘Carefree Highway’ and ‘Sundown’, and is considered of the most renowned voices to emerge from Toronto’s Yorkville folk club scene in the 1960s.
His first big hit came in 1970 with the release of ‘If You Could Read My Mind,’ which he wrote about the breakup of his first marriage.
