Pavarotti, Bono to aid refugees
Nearly a decade ago, Luciano Pavarotti and Bono teamed up in a benefit concert for children in Bosnia after the war there. Now, the singers plan to perform together to help Iraqi war refugees.
The U.N. high commissioner for refugees said Tuesday that Pavarotti and Bono will share the stage in a May 27 benefit concert in Modena, northern Italy, the Italian tenor’s hometown.
Pavarotti has given an annual benefit concert for the last 10 years. This year, the concert’s funds will help the United Nations deal with the humanitarian emergency created by the Iraq war.
