Hill, Jean reunite at tsunami benefit
Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, former members of hip-hop group the Fugees, reunited onstage in Malaysia on Friday in an adrenaline-charged charity concert for tsunami victims.
The Backstreet Boys, Black Eyed Peas and Boyz II Men were among other acts that entertained an enthusiastic crowd of 15,000 people, raising more than $2.6 million to rebuild tsunami-devastated communities in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India.
The seven-hour “Force of Nature” show at Kuala Lumpur’s Stadium Putra was the biggest concert in Malaysian history, marking the first initiative of a local nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for natural disaster survivors.
