Yeah huge bummer. Similar tumor to the type my Uncle just passed away from. Horrible.

The Hip are freakin awesome.

Thanks for the great music. Enjoy what time you have left as best you can.


The Hip are one of the most under appreciated bands around.

This really sucks. Hope his time left is pleasant.

I hear they are planning a final tour. Hope I can make it to that! I saw them 15 years ago and they were great.

You should YouTube them. Especially the earlier stiff. Amazing band and a fucking awesome live show. Terrible news. Thanks for the music.
