The city’s most iconic landmark appears “frozen” as part of Drake’s “Iceman” album release.
A projection on the CN Tower made the 553-metre-high downtown structure look as if it were covered in ice on Thursday night as hundreds of fans watched from the base of the tower.
The special effect was made possible using 75 different projectors. It is part of a special live stream featuring the CN Tower that began at 9:45 p.m.

Called a “visual album,” the rapper’s newest record “unfolds as a theatrical interpretation of Drake’s thoughts and experiences over the past two years.”
Following the live stream, a 10-minute fireworks show is expected from Harbourfront Centre.
Drake has been behind a number of promotional events around Toronto ahead of the album release, including a giant ice sculpture that was placed in a downtown Toronto parking lot last month.
The ice sculpture was mobbed by fans and was eventually melted with the assistance of firefighters after one of them found a package inside that contained the date of the release.
This is a breaking news story. More details to come.
