“Unfortunately, my father passed before he got to see me at RTH or Massey Hall,” says Wood, who sold out Massey Hall a few years ago. That year proved to be a prime example of the unpredictable symmetry that life often doles out: while on tour, Wood met his future wife Alison, falling in love shortly before his father’s death. “When I first started, my eyes were on the prize of Massey, Roy Thomson Hall, TSO — that’s what I wanted,” explains Wood, who witnessed his first big concert at Massey as a teenager when he saw Lou Reed. “It’s funny, I got shown a video a while back where I said I wanted to headline Massey and headline Roy Thomson Hall with the TSO before I ever retired,” Wood recalls. “Everyone I’ve asked is either someone I’ve risen up through the ranks with or is a dear friend,” says Wood.
