Fans of the Tragically Hip celebrated the life of lead singer Gord Downie in memorials across the country on Wednesday.
Downie, who died Tuesday night at the age of 53 after a battle with brain cancer, was fondly remembered at an impromptu vigil in his hometown of Kingston, Ontario.
Fans paid tribute with sing-alongs, breakout dance parties and in one case, broadcasting classic Hip concerts from a flatscreen T-V in the back of a van.
In Bobcaygeon, Ontario — a town made famous by a Hip song — fans gathered by the water to commemorate Downie.
