Fans of The Tragically Hip gathered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on Thursday for a special celebration, in honour of the band's 40th anniversary and the world premiere of the docuseries 'The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal.' The event featured a massive outdoor sing-along led by Choir!Choir!Choir! to pay tribute to the iconic Canadian band. Attendees described The Tragically Hip's music as "iconic" and the "soundtrack of our life" that "speaks to everyone." Tragically Hip fan Maggie Ford took a moment to pay tribute to the late singer and bandmember Gord Downie, who died from brain cancer in 2017. "Let Gord's memory live on and keep on going," Ford said. The Tragically Hip has been at the heart of the Canadian musical zeitgeist, evoking a strong and long-lasting emotional connection between their music and their fans.
