Bell Media Brings Arkells, C&C To Yonge-Dundas Square


But why?

The free concert with City and Colour at the downtown outdoor space tomorrow (April 5) at 9 pm ET teases “a special announcement for Toronto” with Your Morning co-hosts Anne-Marie Mediwake and Ben Mulroney on hand to keep the show moving along smoothly.

A media handout tells us that the Toronto skies will be lit blue tomorrow night and advises that for more details follow #LightUpthe6ix and #BellBlueSky on Twitter and Instagram, and join the Facebook event.

What we don’t expect will be announced is that Canada’s Big Blue has bought iHeartMedia, or that divisional topper Randy Lennox is replacing Heritage Minister Melanie Joly in the federal cabinet.

Separately, the media arm is gearing up production on The Launch, series 2.0. later this month.

Obituaries: '60s Pop Idol Lou Christie Passes Away at 82

This week we also acknowledge the passing of New York City rock photographer Marcia Resnick, reggae star Leroy Gibbons and South African jazz drummer Louis Moholo.

Lou Christie (Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco), one of the most beloved teen pop idols of the 1960s and the voice and songwriter behind Billboard Hot 100-topper “Lightnin’ Strikes,” died on June 18, after a long illness. He was 82 years old.

ABillboard obituary reports that the Pennsylvania-born singer "Christie soared to fame in the early ’60s with hits such as 'The Gypsy Cried' and 'Two Faces Have I,' the latter of which reached No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 1963. The star’s biggest hit came three years later, when 'Lightnin’ Strikes' ascended to the chart’s summit, but he would still score a top 10 smash years later in 1969 with 'I’m Gonna Make You Mine.'"
