Paul Simon Throws All Star Charity Show with Sting, Vince Gill, Tom Hanks, Stevie Wonder

Share

You may not know this, but Paul Simon’s been behind a massive children’s charity for years called the Children’s Health Fund. They took trucks of medical supplies to New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and do all kinds of good works. Now Simon is putting on a 25th anniversary concert on October 4th at Radio City Musical Hall. Sting, Stevie Wonder, Vince Gill, Steve Martin, Tina Fey, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, James Taylor and a bunch more A listers are set  to perform. Julianne Moore and Jane Pauley are going to host a VIP event before the show. If we’re lucky Artie Garfunkel will be drafted to sing with Simon. And Simon Fuller, creator of “American Idol.” is being honored. It’s the same night Jerry Seinfeld is playing the Beacon Theater and there’s a Broadway opening, too. New York fall season is here!
