“Idol Gives Back” charity special on April 9
Bono, Mariah Carey, Fergie, Chris Daughtry, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus, Snoop Dogg, Annie Lennox and John Legend will all be featured on the episode, with more to be announced. Last year’s “Idol Gives Back” raised over $76 million for various charities helping underprivileged children.
Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon and Super Bowl brothers Peyton and Eli Manning are among the non-performers scheduled to appear on next month’s two-hour special. American Idol has also enlisted some of its own to aid in its charity special, with season four winner Carrie Underwood and season five also-ran Chris Daughtry attached to appear.
