Performance by Coldplay Shuts Down Portion of Yonge Street

TORONTO (again) - It's an event many Toronto music lovers won't soon forget.

15-hundred people turned out for a performance by members of the band Coldplay yesterday, blocking off a portion of Yonge Street outside the studios of our brother station, 102.1 The Edge.

Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland were supposed to play two of their new songs, but delighted fans by playing a few more of their big hits.

Edge program director Alan Cross called the event "legendary." Cross says so many fans were gathered on Yonge Street, that the band’s S.U.V. had to be escorted down the street by four mounted police officers.
