It was reported last night (November 20) that Spirit of the West frontman John Mann died at the age of 57, and now tributes have poured in from across Canada.
Mann passed away following a battle against early onset Alzheimer's disease. He revealed his diagnosis in 2014, more than a year after learning of it himself.
Spirit of the West performed their final shows in April 2016.
So far, messages of condolence have been shared by everyone from musicians to radio personalities to health organizations to theatre companies to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — proving just how big and wide-reaching Mann's impact was on Canada.
Mann has even received tributes from across-the-pond admirers, including Billy Bragg.
