Gord Downie, lead singer of iconic Canadian rock band the Tragically Hip, announced this morning he has a form of terminal brain cancer. The Tragically Hip have won 14 Junos during their career. That led to a record deal with MCA and the release of their self-titled 1987 EP, the Canadian Music Hall of Fame says. The group got inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and has been the recipient of the Governor General's National Arts Centre Award. "One performance and yet it yields, easily, 100 or more separate dance moves; such is the spontaneous genius of one of the most captivating frontmen in Canadian music."
