Gord Downie's family is hoping to organize a public event where fans could honour the late Tragically Hip singer.
Downie's brother Mike says a ``private family gathering'' is being held today.
He says a public memorial would have to be ``something that Gord would like and appreciate, so we'll just have to figure that out.''
He adds that the public's reaction to his death has been ``unbelievable.''
Last year, Downie revealed he had terminal brain cancer.
He died Tuesday night at age 53.
