Mary J. Blige has joined forces with other entertainers to raise money for Australians suffering from massive floods throughout the region.
Blige is joined with Sean Paul and Maxi Priest to perform at Birsbane's Raggamuffin Music Festival Reggae For Recovery— Flood Relief Benefit Concert on January 30 where they pledged a portion of their ticket sales to the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal.
WENN reports:
Organizers of a series of shows in Australia featuring Mary J. Blige, Sean Paul and Maxi Priest have vowed to donate proceeds to a relief fund for victims of the country’s devastating floods.
The state of Queensland was plunged into a state of emergency this month as heavy rain caused massive flooding throughout the region – at least 25 people have died and thousands of residents have been forced to flee their homes. The floodwaters have now also affected the state of Victoria.
Blige and Priest are among the stars due to perform at Brisbane’s Raggamuffin music festival on 30 January, and organisers have now renamed the gig Reggae For Recovery – Flood Relief Benefit Concert.
Concert organizers also pledged 10 percent of proceeds in four cities the festival will visit to disaster funds.
The BBC has officially reported New South Wales a disaster area where water levels have reached as high as 18 feet! More than 1,000 people have been evacuated from the area. The photos looks like the Australian version of New Orleans' Hurricane Katrina.
