Gord Downie, the iconic frontman and lyricist for the Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip (famous for hits like "Poets"), died on October 17, 2017 at the age of 53. He passed away after a brave and public battle with terminal brain cancer (glioblastoma).
His passing followed a massive cross-Canada farewell tour with the Hip, which concluded with an emotional, nationally televised concert in his hometown of Kingston, Ontario.
