Singer Marc Mysterio caught in Toronto riots during video shoot

Toronto - Singer Marc Mysterio was set to shoot his music video 'Shout it out' in Toronto this weekend when he and his crew were trapped by the G20 protest riots in the street. Model Kirsten Comerford was pulled from the shoot by her agent when the riots began.

Mysterio has worked with Samantha Fox and Chris Willis on records but the Saturday shoot was to work on his new video for the lead single of his debut album 'Redemption'. "We were just driving down the street, and a riot between cops and protesters had broken out in the street in front of us as we traveled between locations - the cops even banged on our hood with their baton threatening us even though we were boxed in by traffic - a frightening situation, to say the least" said Marc Mysterio in a press release. "What is the real purpose of this summit? Why could it not be effectuated over Skype? It just seems very capricious and indifferent to not only hold this in the 3rd largest market in North America, but also to fence in the downtown-core, post-apocalyptic style - did they not realize that this will inflict major trauma upon the citizens of our city? Honestly, I feel traumatized and I'm sure the cops do as well and, moreover, after the G20 is over, I hope these tensions will not linger."
