Singer Dan Fogelberg Loses Prostate Cancer Battle

RIP Dan Fogelberg

Singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg has died at the age of 57 after a lengthy battle with prostate cancer. Fogelberg was famous for such hit songs as “Leader of the Band” and “Same Old Lang Syne.”

The following message was posted on Dan’s website:

Dear friends,

Dan left us this morning at 6:00am . 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.

Dan had this message for men about being preventive with the disease:

To each and every man….

I cannot encourage you strongly enough to get a DRE (Digital Rectal Exam) and a PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) test EVERY YEAR.

The medical community suggests this for men over 50, but men with a family history of prostate cancer should start getting tested at age 40.

The PSA test is a simple blood test…it only takes a minute or two. The DRE, okay, every man squirms at the thought of this exam, but hey, it too takes only a minute or two, and IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.

A simple test and early detection can save your life.
