The Tragically Hip’s last concert ends where it all began
WATCH ABOVE: In 1987, The Tragically Hip was formed in Kingston, Ontario and almost 30 years later they'll be performing their last show there Saturday night – Aug 20, 2016

Fans of the Tragically Hip are gathering Saturday night to watch the iconic band play what some believe may be their final show.

They will be in Kingston, Ontario, but the show will be broadcast across the country.

The show in the hip’s hometown will wrap up a ten-city tour.

The tour was announced after lead singer Gord Downie told the country he had incurable brain cancer in May.

He, along with band members Paul Langlois, Rob Baker, Gord Sinclair and Johnny Fay, have toured Canada playing 10 cities in the past month.
