Yesterday was probably one of the most hectic days for the members of Simple Plan in a long time. Just a few hours after getting back from the first part of their European tour back home to Canada, they spent the whole Saturday on various events related to the so-called “Juno Week”, which will end with the presenting of the Juno Awards later tonight.
First, Simple Plan attended the Juno Fan Fare, where they were scheduled to meet hundreds of fans on a signing session. Next, a few of the band members were seen to attend the Celebrity Lounge and you can now check out the pictures from both of these events in the gallery:
But that was not all that yesterday had in store for Simple Plan. The evening of March 31st has definitely become one of the most important in the band’s career. First, they were invited by no-one other than Canada’s prime minister Stephen Harper to have a drink in his residence and then during the AJuno Gal Dinner, the band was recognised for their charitable work with their Simple Plan Foundation and received the honorary Allan Waters’ Humanitarian Award. During the speech that the band accompanied the acceptance of this award, Pierre said (regarding the fact that Simple Plan have now become the youngest recipients of it): “Helping out others isn’t something that has to happen when you are 50 or 60 years old.”
Some of the members of Simple Plan were supported by the presence of their parents at the Juno Gala Dinner and later (openly via Twitter) thanked them for their constant support, mostly regarding the Foundation,
