The Tragically Hip is arguably Canada's favourite band. Largely unknown outside of Canada, they were a staple of radio stations and the CD binders we carried in our cars on roadtrips throughout the 90's and aughts.
Ten years ago today The Hip played their last concert. After lead singer Gord Downie was diagnosed with brain cancer, they decided to go on tour one last time, with their last show ending in Downie's home town of Kingston, ON. This concert was watched by nearly 12 million people, roughly a third of all Canadians.
Today, two hours from this post, the CBC is rebroadcasting their last live show.
