DAZZLING ARRAY OF STARS TO LIGHT UP STAND UP TO CANCER SEPTEMBER 10TH BROADCAST
Among others Edge will appear as musical guest for Stand Up To Cancer telethon. The one-hour event is scheduled for September 10th at 8:00 pm ET/PT and will be aired on all major U.S. TV networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) and many cable networks, too, in 195 countries.
Other musicians scheduled to perform include: Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day,Neil Diamond,Delta Goodrem, Herbie Hancock, Kris Kristofferson, Lady Antebellum, Leona Lewis, Orianthi and Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson of Heart. These artists join previously announced performers including Natasha Bedingfield, Martina McBride, Aaron Neville, Dave Stewart and Stevie Wonder.
“Plain and simple, cancer takes too much from us,” said Laura Ziskin, SU2C co-founder and executive producer of the September 10th broadcast, who is a cancer survivor.
“Loved ones lost to it, pain and suffering endured by those in treatment, even the recent report that cancer has the most devastating economic impact of any cause of death…this disease exacts a very high price.
We want people all over the country to rise up and say, ‘ENOUGH!’
“Tune in on Sept. 10th to see your favorite stars, who’ll ask, ‘Will you stand up with us?’
Person by person, saying ‘yes’ moves us toward a goal completely within our grasp: a world without cancer.
A donation of any size brings scientists one step closer to a cure," Ziskin said.
Stand Up To Cancer says that one hundred percent of the donations at next week's fund raiser will go directly to cancer research.
