Even though I never heard of himy, I'mean sorry to heard that he passed away at an early age.
Never heard of him, now I have and I thank you for that. Listening to Tragically Hip now at work!
They will be missed. I remember when they first started out. They performed at our Folk Festival. Great band.
I was listening to 38 Years Old when that came on the news... Really regret missing their last concert now.
I haven't heard this band. But I remember the reactions of many CDN friends on FB when he shared his diagnosis. He remained very creative in his last year.
A sad day for sure. Like many Canadians, the Hip were a significant part of our life story soundtracks... played during an important memory or countless hours on the road. Was fortunate to see him one last time during the final tour. Rest in peace Gordie.

It is a sad day for Canada. He was a Canadian music icon. The Hip was one of my favorite bands growing up on the east coast.
It is so sad that this terrible disease is taking away so many people long before their time.
Rest In Piece Gord..
