Hip tragedy

The final concert of Tragically Hip didn’t really mean much to me, as I only knew them by name, but hearing about it reminded me of this photo, from Eid’s first trip to Canada in September 2004. The band’s lead singer Gord Downie had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer a few months earlier, and died in October 2017 — just six months after Eid.
