Posted about 12 hours ago

Neil Young’s public appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival has been cancelled.

A festival spokesperson told The Canadian Press that Young will not make the planned trip to Toronto to appear at a public screening on Monday of Jonathan Demme’s new concert film starring the Canadian rock legend, Neil Young Trunk Show.

The spokesperson did not offer a reason for Young’s absence, but said festival organizers were hoping to announce a “spectacular” performer to take his place in the coming days.
