A noted British cellist, who performed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, had to cancel a sold-out performance with his pianist sister in Toronto after an Air Canada gate agent refused to allow his cello on the plane.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason and his sister, Isata Kanneh-Mason, who are on tour in North America, were scheduled to play in Toronto Wednesday evening.
