Lewis, the UN's special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, came out and accepted the cheque with characteristic graciousness and eloquence.

And it's probably fair to assume that the main attraction for fans was not to hear the Barenaked Ladies offer their inevitably inimitable take on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman" and "We Three Kings" as it was to catch them in a more intimate setting than their usual home stop, the Air Canada Centre.
