Mick does his bit for Canada post SARS.. ananova.com Stones roll for Canadian city hit by Sars The Rolling Stones have headlined an outdoor concert in Toronto, intended to boost tourism after Sars. More than 400,000 tickets at £10 each were sold for the 11-hour show - billed as one of North America's largest ticketed events. Mick Jagger said: "We are so excited about coming to Toronto to play in front of such a huge number of people, with such an incredible line up of talented singers and musicians." Hundreds of fansspent the night outside a former military airfield and rushed in when gates opened to get a spot near the huge stage surrounded by video screens. The World Health Organisation removed Canada's largest city from a list of places affected by Sars on July 2. Estimates put tourism losses in the hundreds of millions of pounds since the first outbreak in March. Actor Jim Belushi said: "We're bringing this city back. We're celebrating with music and it's one of the most joyous and communal experiences." Belushi joined master of ceremonies Dan Aykroyd for a set by their Have Love Will Travel Revue blues band.
