Dan Fogelberg dies aged 56

Singer songwriter Dan Fogelberg, whose hits included 'The Power Of Gold' and 'Leader Of The Band', died this weekend, aged 56, following a battle with prostate cancer. A posting on Fogelberg's website read: "Dan left us this morning at 6:00 a.m. He fought a brave battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with his wife Jean at his side. His strength, dignity and grace in the face of the daunting challenges of this disease were an inspiration to all who knew him". Fogelberg enjoyed most success in the seventies and early eighties, though continued to work until diagnosed with the cancer in 2004, releasing his final album, 'Full Circle', in 2003.
