GORD DOWNIE

It’s a Sad day not just in Music, but in Canada as a whole. We lost a Canadian Icon, a legend and a true talent. Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip has passed away peacefully last night surrounded by his wife and children.

Today on the KK Show and every hour throughout the day, we will be playing songs from The Tragically Hip in memory of Gord.

Here is the release from Gord’s family…

    Thank you Mr Downie, for the music, the memories and the inspiration on how to live, even when dying. Thank you for using your platform to bring about change and awareness through your work in environmental issues, the Chanie Wenjack fund and Secret Path project, speaking out and raising awareness about the long supressed mistreatment of indigenous children and families and your involvement in so many other worthwhile causes, and for the completely awe inspiring Canadian sountrack to our lives
    Your life has indeed enriched mine as it has millions of others, Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and using your life to inspire, educate, enlighten and entertain. My thoughts are with those close to Gord Downie the man – his family, friends, and bandmates. May the loving thoughts and memories carry them through the heartache of such a deep loss.
    Farewell brother, you will live on in your works and the hearts of the millions and millions of people you have touched.

    To the Downie family
    my deepest condolences goes out to you
    I was a fan since the get go 1987
    my father took me to my first concert cause I was only 12 years of age
    the hip got booed and Mr Downie had a shoe hit him and they walked off the stage
    I saw the Tragically Hip 34 times
    he was my idol in so many ways the way he was so zany
    he will be missed in the music world and by his friends and family
    I love you Gordie
    I’ve never meet mr Gordie but it seems I knew him
    its a very sad day in Canada and all over the world
    Rest in peace Gordon Downie :((
