Tomorrow’s edition of MuchMusic’s documentary called Born To Be will be featuring the whole career of Simple Plan – from their first steps all the way to this day. Below you can read the words of the producer of this documentary, which summarize what we can expect from it:
Five guys in one band who have sold millions of albums worldwide and who have millions of fans to match – sounds fake, right? It’s not. This band really does exist and the coolest part of all – they’re Canadian. Pierre, Chuck, Sebastien, Jeff and David are still together, still making music and most important, still friends. I would like pass along a huge, warm thank you to Simple Plan for allowing MUCH into their cooler than cool Montreal rehearsal space to sit down and take the time to share their story with their fans. Our interview felt like we were talking to old friends. It goes to show you that money and fame is nice, but Simple Plan found their secret to success and it’s true friendship!
Thanks for watching,
Leslie
Producer – Born To Be
And here is a little sneak peak from this documentary and below that you can check out 11 just released vintage pictures from the Born To Be documentary which are definitely worth viewing:
After a few years Simple Plan have finally come back to Brazil again, where they were greeted by tons of excited fans – first, when David arrived, they waited for him at the airport and later at his hotel. The rest of the band arrived later, as their flights have been cancelled and had to wait a whole day for the next connection – that also led to the soundcheck in Porto Alegre starting 30 minutes late. But all went well, the band arrived safely and they were yet again welcomed by a huge number of fans both at the airport and at the hotel. 
This is not the first time we’ve mentioned the charitable organisation called War Child in relation to Simple Plan. In the past, for example thanks to the campaign called “One Brick At A Time”, by selling special bracelets Simple Plan and War Child manaed to raise enough money to build two new schools in Kongo. Next, some of the funds raised by Young Artists For Haiti and their song “Wavin” Flag” (which Pierre Bouvier was a part of), went also to War Child, as well as the money that Sebastien raised during his “Busking For Change” sessions, when he played acoustically in the Montreal subway.
