The Tragically Hip were joined by Feist tonight (June 6) at the 2021 Juno Awards. Feist fronted the band for a special performance of โItโs a Good Life If You Donโt Weaken,โ which was introduced by Gordon Lightfoot. The band also received the 2021 Humanitarian Award, which was presented by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush, in honor of their history of philanthropic work. Watch it all happen below.
During the bandโs acceptance speech for their humanitarian award, Paul Langlois singled out Feist. โWeโve been friends with Leslie for 20 years, and honestly, we wouldnโt be playing here tonight if she wasnโt here with us,โ he said.
Last month, the Tragically Hip released Saskadelphia, a record featuring six unreleased tracks written in 1990, five of which were recorded that year during the Road Apples sessions in New Orleans. The bandโs founding frontman Gord Downie died in 2017 after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. He was 53 years old.
