Below is the statement posted this morning on TheHip.com, the Tragically Hip's official website, regarding singer Gord Downie's cancer diagnosis:Hello friends. So after 30-some years together as the Tragically Hip, thousands of shows, and hundreds of tours…We've decided to do another one. A few months ago, in December, Gord Downie was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. We have some very tough news to share with you today, and we wish it wasn't so. This feels like the right thing to do now, for Gord, and for all of us.
