Tragically Hip's Gord Downie dead at 53 [View all]

From the CBC: http://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/gord-downie-obit-1.4359906

The Tragically Hip has been closely tied with Canadian identity for years. Canadians mourned last year when his cancer diagnosis was revealed, and we'll mourn again now he's actually gone. I'm fairly shattered today.

G'night, Gord. Keep your stick on the ice, eh?

My favourite Hip song:
