Singers to create original song for Haiti relief efforts; all-star telethon lineup
A galaxy of pop music stars will lend their voices to Friday's telethon to benefit quake-devastated Haiti.
The star-studded list of artists set to perform at "Hope for Haiti: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief" has been released.
It includes A-listers Bruce Springsteen, Jay-Z, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Sting, Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, Shakira, Rihanna, Bono and The Edge, and many more.
In addition to participating in the global goodwill gala, airing Jan. 22 at 8 p.m. on many major networks, The Edge has collaborated with U2 bandmates Bono, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr., as well as Jay-Z and music producer Swizz Beats to create an original song to help the relief effort.
The Edge announced Wednesday on an Irish radio station that Swizz had called him, saying that he and Jay-Z "wanted to do something for Haiti," reports Eonline.com.
"So Bono came up with the phrase on the phone and last night we were here, we wrote a song, finished, recorded, and sent it back to them," said Edge. "So that might be the next thing you hear from us."
The telethon will be co-hosted by George Clooney in Los Angeles, Anderson Cooper in Haiti and Wyclef Jean in New York City.
