Miley Cyrus to headline 2009 VH1 Divas gig
Singers such as Miley Cyrus, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Adele will headline the 2009 VH1 Divas concert in New York later this year.
The show, a fundraiser for the Save The Music Foundation, will be shown live on VH1 in the US on 17 September, after an absence of five years.
The non-profit organisation was set up to promote the use of musical education in schools in the US. The first Diva concert took place in 1998 and, since then, musical instruments worth $43m (£26.2) have been donated to 1,600 schools in 100 cities.
This year’s event will take place at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and VH1 has announced that more artists will be added to the line-up.
Lee Rolontz, a VH1 spokesman, said: “Adele, Kelly, Leona and Miley have all captured the world’s attention with their talent and have earned their designation as VH1 Divas this year.”
He added: “These women are among the best entertainers in the world and will continue to thrill music fans for a long time to come.”
