Pharrell, Kevin Wall & Al Gore Announce June 18th 'Live Earth' Concert To Support The Upcoming U.N. Climate Pact & Bring Awareness To The Issue Of Climate Change.
Pharrell Williams, Kevin Wall and former Vice President Al Gore have teamed to fight global warming with the announcement of a worldwide Live Earth concert on June 18th, according to a report from the Associated Press (via ABC News). The concert - an event that Gore says will engage "a billion voices with one message - to demand climate action now" - is scheduled to take place on all seven continents and provide support for the impending 190-nation U.N. climate pact in Paris this coming December. The trio of organizers announced the event at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where Williams offered some insight on the event and the urgent need for action on the issue of climate change:
"I think you guys know how serious the global warming thing is, and so for us we're taking it very seriously, and we wanted to do something very different this time," Williams said."Instead of just having people perform, we literally - and I can't go into it now because some interesting surprises are coming out soon - but we literally are going to have humanity harmonize all at once."
The lineup for this summer's worldwide Live Earth concert has yet to be announced. Read the full announcement via abcnews.go.com. Stay tuned for more as details emerge.
