Celebrating The Tragically Hip: A Tournament to Determine the Best Song
A decade ago, The Tragically Hip faced a challenging time when lead singer Gord Downie was diagnosed with brain cancer. Despite this, the band embarked on a final tour, culminating in a memorable show in Kingston watched by over 11 million viewers. Since then, there have been solo projects from Downie, album reissues, and archival releases. Recently, the band announced a live album from the Man Machine Poem tour, prompting a reflection on their legacy and music. Inspired by social media bracket competitions, a tournament to determine the best Tragically Hip song based on streaming numbers will begin on May 19. Fans can participate by voting for their favorite songs in daily matchups on social media. The tournament promises to be a fun way to celebrate the band's music and engage with their passionate fan base.
