Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan has officially placed his 7,000-square-foot home in Orland Park, Illinois, on the real estate market with an asking price of $1.575 million. According to public property records, the 57-year-old musician originally purchased the residence three years ago, in March 2023, for $1.3 million.
On March 28, the guitarist shared several photos of the property on his social media accounts to announce the listing, noting his plans to divide his time between two locations moving forward.
“I’m selling my home!!!!!! 3 yrs was enough for me & it’s time to move on. Lots of great memories & parties here but I’m going back to the OG & those backyard parties. 10 minutes away, lol! I’m gonna be splitting my time between the Glen and Sarasota, Florida” he wrote.
Shortly after the initial post, Donegan provided an update to clarify his primary residency status, ensuring he was not permanently relocating from the Midwest.
“I had to re-edit this, so let me be clear, Illinois is still home, I’m going back to Homer Glen & I’ll still be here 80%. I just got a place to escape too from time to time & experience the salt life & the sun. I already got my place and headed down next week to pick out furniture, discover new places & meet new people. #florida #theglen #newchapter,” he added.
Earlier today, March 30, he posted a video walkthrough of the property, confirming high interest from potential buyers. “My home in Illinois is for sale! Just 40 minutes south of Chicago. Many showings already that happened over the weekend. This will go fast”.
The musician’s recent personal life, specifically the dissolution of his marriage, served as the primary creative inspiration for the song “Don’t Tell Me“, featured on the latest Disturbed studio album, 2022’s Divisive. The track is notable for featuring Ann Wilson of Heart, marking the first guest vocal collaboration in the band’s extensive recording history.
Speaking previously about the emotional weight of the composition, Dan Donegan offered insight into the situation that inspired the lyrics.
“It was very personal to me,” he explained at the time. “I was going through my divorce, and I wanted to touch on the fact I was in a very long marriage to a wonderful woman. She’s a great mother to my kids. We were together for 18 years. Even though the marriage was in a tough spot, it was hard to leg go, because we’d invested so much into each other. I felt like listeners could relate to it.”
