BlackBerry Global Creative Director, multi-platinum recording artist and Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys took to the stage last night at Toronto's Air Canada Centre for the Canadian leg of the Set The World On Fire Tour. Keys, her Z10 and her band rocked the stage accompanied by a whole ensemble of dancers and various keyboards, pianos and organs which magically appeared on stage.
The white BlackBerry Z10 figured prominently at the concert during the song You Don't Know My Name where Keys used it as a prop for the song's intro.
Prior to the concert, BlackBerry hosted cocktails for employees and media guests who were surprised when BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins dropped in to meet and greet attendees as well as pose for photos.
As for the rest of the concert, it was simply stunning, soulful and kept the packed ACC crowd moving and singing along. Can't get enough of the Girl on Fire? Check out Alicia Keys and BlackBerry's creative video project Your City, Your Video.
