Yahoo! Music, Apr 18, 2002 5:00 pm PDT
(4/18/02, 5 p.m. ET) -- The Dixie Chicks--Emily Robison, Martie Maguire, and Natalie Maines--and international singing sensation Shakira will join previously announced performers Mary J. Blige, Cher, and Celine Dion at VH1 Divas Las Vegas: A Benefit Concert For The VH1 Save The Music Foundation. The fifth annual Divas concert will air live from the MGM Grand beginning at 9 p.m. ET on May 23.
The concert will raise funds for the VH1 Save The Music Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music programs in America's public schools, and to raising awareness of the positive impact that music participation has on students.
Additional Divas Las Vegas performers, presenters, and special guests will be announced as they are confirmed, according to the cable network.
Last year at the fourth annual star-studded Divas concert, Nelly Furtado, Marc Anthony, Kid Rock, Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott, and salsa legend Celia Cruz, among others, paid tribute to R&B legend Aretha Franklin at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
