Overview
David Byrne and Alicia Keys are teaming up to perform for the Black Ball fundraiser for Keep a Child Alive in New York.
The show, which will also feature rapper Angel Haze, will take place on 30 October at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. It is the 11th year of the event, which aims to bring together first time collaborations on stage. Keys is a co-founder of the charity, with past events hosting the likes of Jay Z, David Bowie, Bono and Chris Martin, to mention a few.
"I’ve always been inspired by David Byrne and his ability to combine music and art," Keys share with Billboard. "[We] have been talking about his new music and what we’re going to perform and just the thought of it is amazing!"
