The Tragically Hip are calling out fake merch outlets this week. The online scammers who claim to be affiliated with the band are misleading fans by stating that proceeds go to the ‘Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research’.

The Hip’s Rob Baker took to Twitter yesterday, warning fans about the faux vendors claiming to be donating to the cause. Groups like ‘Gord Downie Supporters’ have ZERO association to the band.


 
Think we can all agree, trying to piggyback off the poor health of one of Canada’s most beloved musicians is pretty scummy!
