Pharrell And Al Gore Announce Live Earth 2015 Concert
Pharrell is a charitable musician, and his latest venture is putting on this year’s Live Earth concert. The “Squeeze Me” singer is partnering up with politician and former Vice President Al Gore for the festivities, which will occur on June 18. The international concert, which aims to fight global warming, will span across all seven continents. The initiative for 2015 is to encourage leaders to support a new climate pact at the Paris U.N. meeting next December.
Pharrell made the big announcement today (January 20) at the World Economic Forum, saying: “We literally are going to have humanity harmonize all at once. [The purpose is] to have a billion voices with one message — to demand climate action now.” The huge concert began in 2007, and it features more than a hundred musicians performing at various locations worldwide.
