‘Idol’ charity event returns
From the Associated Press
The second “American Idol” charity event is set for April 9, with a lineup that includes Bono, Brad Pitt, Miley Cyrus, Fergie, Chris Daughtry and Carrie Underwood.
Last year’s “Idol Gives Back” show raised $76 million to benefit underprivileged children. It also earned the producers a special Emmy Award.
The Fox network announced the celebrity roster Monday. Football stars Peyton and Eli Manning are also scheduled, along with John Legend, Mariah Carey, Annie Lennox, Reese Witherspoon and Snoop Dogg.
Fox said more names would be added in the coming weeks.
