A number of big-name stars have been announced as performers at an upcoming tribute show for victims of Hurricane Sandy in the US.

Christina Aguilera, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Sting and Billy Joel are among the huge name stars who will perform at the benefit concert. Hurricane Sandy has caused death and devastation on the East Coast of America after it struck earlier this week.

The show will be broadcast on US TV on Friday (2 November, 2012) with guest appearances from American TV celebrities Jimmy Fallon, Matt Lauer and Brian Williams.

All cash raised from the show will be donated to the American Red Cross, who are currently working to provide food and shelter to those affected by the disaster, which has seen countless American families left homeless after the storm.

The tribute show will be broadcast at 8pm US time tomorrow.


Jon Bon Jovi was forced to cut short a UK trip to be with his family in New Jersey

Bon Jovi rushed back to the US to be with friends and family in his hometown of New Jersey, one of the areas worst affected by Hurricane Sandy. He cancelled promotional duties in the UK to make the trip home.

I really need to get back home having spoken to my wife and kids, who are stuck in New York," says the 50-year-old star, according to The Metro. "I need to be with my people. Thankfully, my family are safe.

"There is no power, water, the devastation is off the charts. The president is in my hometown in New Jersey because of the damage. It's like Armageddon. Where my children surf, 80 houses burnt down."
