- Adrian Langlois, father of Tragically Hip guitarist Paul Langlois, sat down with our Adrian Ghobrial to speak about the late Gord Downie. Adrian Langlois taught Downie during the Hip frontman’s high school years.
That's why I love you Canadians..... you don't act like the best, you yet somehow become the best! Great attitude Canada. Love those Hipsters. Sorry to hear about your lead singer. I'm sure you'll have a special on the CBC one day when the band plays and these great Canadian singers take turns at singing those songs again. And I picture Blue Rodeo Bryan Adams Sarah McLachlan and being introduced by Wayne Gretzky..... can you be anymore Canadian? Brought to you by Molson Canada lol.
I just can't believe it.... don't let this band dismantle. If you see them on the streets tell them the show must go on..... Gord Downie's legacy must keep rolling. I'm sure he would be thankful and wanted it that way, and so do you Canada!!!
you can borrow my bike anytime buddy. Blackice0995XL you too eh
we all love the hip...rip gord
Very, very nice Richard. Where are you from?
Thank you Richard... I appoint thee an honorary Canadian... not that I have the juice, but I'm sure my country mates will back me up
Having Mr Langlois talk about the members and Gord was really nice. Sad day for all the hip families and for Canada.
RIP Gord. Man who walks among the stars.
Paul's father is such a cool guy. He reminds me of my father.
This is so good. Sad, but wonderful. This is why we love "The Hip."
damn.....I kinda thought I had no more tears to shed.....listening to this soft spoken man.....crying again thinking about it. Ive wondered how the other fellas in the band were coping. If by chance, any of the other band members get on you tube, and happen to read these comments, I would like to say that I was a fan of the Tragically Hip. Sure, Gord was larger than life on stage, and his lyrics gave me many contemplative moments, but that rhythm section. WOW, and the guitar work, and the harmonies. My heart breaks thinking about you guys missing your Brother In Arms. Im 52, been a fan for over 27 years, saw The Hip 9 times. I cant thank you enough for the memories, and cant say how sad I am for you all

Know what you mean. Crying here. Been a fan of TTH since 1987.
Sad I am just seeing this now so long after it was released. Thanks for your contribution to the better understanding of this great band.
Thankful that there was time for the band and his family and us, his fans, to get used to the idea that this was coming and for everyone to get to say their goodbyes and their thank yous and I Love You's. RIP Gordie. Gone too soon.
Canada has been supremely blessed with talented music makers. Somehow, the band will keep The Hip's legacy alive. They are part of our DNA.
TIC. An iconic Kingstonian in his own right. Coached and taught many, many people. Never underestimate the way coaches and teachers influence people - even to a generational level.
So sad, end of an era. Day for Night most underrated album, ahead of its time.
I miss Gord already,such a
Cool person.🍁
Thank you Mr. Langlois.
My god, he looks like Mr. Dressup.
We will miss him. But he will always be in our 💕
Thank you for sharing your memories with the world
I was awfully lucky to meet and work with Gordon Downey in Kenzie, and he really was a beautiful soul. He gave back to his fans in wonderful free concerts in Kenzie, here in Toronto, and probably win his home town of Kingston too.
I'm starting my aquafit classes with some Hip Hits since he passed away: Ahead by a Century, Bobcageon, Wheat Kings and New Orleans is sinking.
Gord was different, he was so real the soul of Gord sits at the side of the Lord.
Love this interview, enjoy the stars G.D.
Richard Monaghan you are totally and completely a beautiful hearted, caring Man. God Bless you and ty so very much for such a wonderful Statement♥♥
Kahnawake? My Mohawk brothers? Cool. I loved them here on my reservation in WNY, my tribe are the Seneca.
He seems like a nice man! So sad
What a nice man. Got to think he had an influence on those boys in the band, and he's not saying it, but his smile shows he loved Gord, even if he didn't quite see the poet that was in him. And make no mistake. Gord Downy was a poet first and foremost. And he was a great one!
I don’t think there’ll heart will be in it like it was for The Hip, my heart broke.
RIP 🙏🏻💖🎤🎹🥁🎸🎵🎶
R.I.P. Gord. You'll be missed.
RIP.

“What was it like in your hoce when he came over to hang oat?”
