A story was published in the Houston Chronicle in 2001 about the great violinist Itzhak Perlman breaking a string early in his concert at Avery Fisher Hall in NYC. Instead of replacing the string or instrument, the article states that he collected himself and then played a masterful version of the piece (which was not identified) on three strings. At the end he is supposed to have said, "You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left."
It is a moving story, but no one has been able to confirm it. The website snopes.com calls it False and cites evidence to support that claim. Nevertheless, the story has been repeated in various places; there was even a book written called The Broken String, using the story as its basis. Perlman himself has never confirmed that the event happened.
Yes it was a B-Side to one of their singles.

No. The strings are spaced so that it would be impossible to play all of them at once. However, you can play a "broken" string chord using all four strings. To do this, you move the bow from the G string to the E string.
A broken string must be replaced or repaired or your instrument may not sound correct.
Yes, go to a music store and buy a pack of strings. If it's an acoustic, take the pegs on the bridge out and replace the string, otherwise, just unwind the string from the top and push it through the body.
Broken Strings was created in 2008-11.

One can do many things with broken strings. One could try to fix them, or just throw them away.

Common reasons for broken guitar strings include excessive bending, improper tuning, old or worn strings, and aggressive playing. To prevent broken strings, make sure to tune your guitar properly, avoid excessive bending, replace old strings regularly, and play with a lighter touch.

The lyrics for the song "Broken Strings" were written by James Morrison. The record producer Fraser T. Smith and Nina Woodford were involved as songwriters as well.
