Two years after their first appearance at 24h Tremblant in Canada, Simple Plan revisited the Mont Tremblant mountain for another edition of this largest philantropic sporting event in North America yesterday. At 24h Tremblant, the participants take on three different sports challenges at the same time: ski, run and walk. The teams, made up of 6 to 12 members, register in one of the three sports and take part in a 24-hour relay. Participants raise funds with all proceeds going to three major children’s foundations – this year raising over 3 million dollars. And every year this event is accompanied by a number of concerts.
Just like last time, Simple Plan once again had to perform as a foursome – except this time without a different band member. You may recall that at the 2015 edition of 24h Tremblant, Pierre Bouvier had to excuse himself from performing, as he had suffered a vocal haemorrhage, so the band had to call up a few of their friends to help out with the vocal parts. The substituting singers then included Marie-Mai, Janick Thibault, Rémi Chassé, Bobby Bazini and Jonas. This year as promised, Pierre was all ready to finally perform at this event, so the only band member still missing was David.
Before heading to the stage to perform in front of thousands of people who gathered to enjoy this exclusive sporting event, the members of Simple Plan put on some winter jackets, hats and gloves and came to check out the event from the inside and even took part in some activities. Chuck for instance played ice-hockey with a group of children and all of the SP guys also took part in a snowball fight. Audrey captured this moment on the video below:
Later that evening it was finally time for Simple Plan to come up on stage and give it all they got at the last performance before the Christmas holidays. To make the night even more special, Pierre very unexpectedly performed a cover of Green Day’s song ‘Basket Case’. Once again captured by Audrey, check out the video of this moment below:
And finally, have a look at a couple of pictures taken of the guys during yesterday at 24h Tremblant:
