"Since then, the poster has been used to raise funds predominantly for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada," said McGuire. The track was composed by Rock and features lyrics and vocals from Downie.

Lustre Parfait, an upbeat rock ’n’ roll song packed with organs, horns and soulful backing vocals, arrived Thursday on streaming services. McGuire says the first place the poster was used to raise funds was the "In Gordon We Trust" website, which raised money for the Sunnybrook Hospital Foundation - where Downie was being treated at the time. TORONTO Metallica producer Bob Rock is serving a taste of his collaborative album with Gord Downie. "So, anytime Gord said a number, I yanked it out of the lyrics and threw it in the design." "'By the Numbers is a design that utilizes every numerical reference in every Tragically Hip song," he said. That's when McGuire created a poster called "By the Numbers." "In 2016, when I found out that Gordon was diagnosed with brain cancer, I was floored," said McGuire. A Nova Scotia graphic designer and Tragically Hip fan has raised thousands of dollars for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada with a special tribute to Gordon Downie.Įrin McGuire says he knew instantly he wanted to help raise funds and awareness when he learned of Downie's diagnosis.
