Nobody had mentioned Gord Downie of Canada’s Tragically Hip passing away October 17, 2017.
One of the greatest singers, showman, but hardly ever heard outside Canada.

I was so lucky to live where I do, they’d be filling giant hockey arenas across Canada and I’d get to see them in some little club or gymnasium when they’d sneak across the border. No other show like it.
So sad.

Gord was in amazing form for the final concert they gave. He was far enough along with his illness, that there was a lot of concern that he could keep performing through the whole night.

Canada basically shut down, the night of the final concert in Kingston. I don't know anybody here who didn't watch it. CBC broadcast the entire concert, start to finish, with zero commercials - fitting tribute to an artist and band that had a tremendous impact in Canada.
