Kanye West and Paul McCartney are among the artists set for a Hurricane Sandy benefit concert scheduled to take place at Madison Square Garden.
The charity gig will be held at the mammoth New York arena on 12 December (aka. 12/12/12) to raise funds for those hurt by the recent storm across the East Coast.
Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys and others have also been booked for the event, with the organisers promising more “music royalty” to be added to the bill shortly.
What are the odds on a collab between Yeezy and one of the other legendary performers?
