    Gord Downie

    Gordon Edgar Downie, CM, singer, songwriter, poet, activist, actor (born 6 February 1964 in Kingston, ON; died 17 October 2017 in Toronto, ON). Gord Downie was the lead singer and lyricist of the rock group the Tragically Hip, one of the most popular and influential Canadian bands of all time. Downie was known for his eccentric charisma as a performer and for his cryptic and poetic lyrics, which borrow heavily from Canadian history, literature and culture. Downie was called the “poet laureate of Canadian rock music” and “Canada’s everyman rock poet.” His 2015 diagnosis of glioblastoma (brain cancer) prompted a national farewell tour in 2016. It ended with a final concert that was viewed by nearly 12 million people. Downie won 22 Juno Awards — 6 as a solo artist and 16 with the Hip. He and the Hip were inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2002 and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2005.
