Tragically Hip singer Gord Downie has terminal cancer, band vows one last tour 'for Gord'

Boots or Hearts.....is one of those songs you may have heard driving to work but didn't know who did it.

Way, way too young. And yes, yes I am. I'll check em out

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Fucking cancer.

Bummer news.

Saw them in the early 90's when they opened for Page & Plant.
Pretty decent band...and Downie was a damn good singer.

As I get a chance, I'll keep posting some of what I like anyways.

 

[jonvi]

Poets......one of those cruising tunes.

The one above is the single from the new album coming out in a few weeks.

The Hip is my second favorite band of all time. Devastating news. Hoping for a miracle for Gord. Seen them many times but hoping for one last. The tour they just announced is going to sell out within minutes for each venue. Fingers crossed I can get tickets.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Sad to hear.

One of the greats bands to come from Canada

I hear there coming to Victoria to start the tour on July 22nd

Anyone get tickets yet? Hip fans not happy with the presale releases so far...scalpers taking advantage.
