Stars to Help Celebrate Sting's 60th Birthday
Pop stars including Lady Gaga and Bruce Springsteen will come out in New York to help rocker Sting celebrate his 60th birthday in a charity concert.
Sting invited the stellar guest list -- also including Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige, Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am and Billy Joel -- to his bash at the Beacon Theater on October 1. Proceeds will go to the Robin Hood Foundation, an anti-poverty charity, sting.com website said.
Sting, the former front man for the Police before launching a solo career, will play with his longtime guitarist Dominic Miller.
The Beacon Theater is a famed Broadway venue that in the past has hosted The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Michael Jackson and Queen.
