Katy Perry spreads her wings in a symbolic rehearsal for Canada's Much Music awards
Her estranged husband Russell Brand has been explicitly opening up about the end of his marriage as he does the promotion for new film Rock of Ages.
But Katy Perry has more subtle ways of sending messages to her fans about her life separated from the comedian.
In a symbolic show during the Much Music Video Awards rehearsal in Toronto, Canada today, she showed that she had begun a freeing new life with the help of her set design.

In a colourful display, the singer could be seen practicing her vocals on a huge platform.
Before long a giant gathering of material opened up to form a butterfly with herself stood in the middle.
While it is not known what her get-up will be for the real thing tomorrow night, she wore a revealing black lace shirt which showed off her bra with light leggings for the run-through.
