Danish Taxi Drivers who threatened to blockade the MTV Europe Music Awards in Copenhagen have cancelled their planned demonstration. The drivers were protesting against a decision to hire non-professionals to drive artists to the event, which is to be hosted by Justin Timberlake, and will feature performances from the likes of Nelly Furtado, Keane and Muse.
The taxi drivers' union withdrew their threat after meeting with transport officials on Tuesday, and agreeing to a proposal to allow 150 limousine drivers chauffeur some of the evening's guests.
