Iconic '80s Singer, 73, Takes the Stage for ‘Epic’ Charity Performance...
The concert aimed to raise money for St. Jude's.
The Belasco Theater stage lit up with an electrifying energy on May 29, as iconic '80s singer Sting, a vibrant 73, alongside reggae superstar Shaggy, headlined the Cherrytree 20th Anniversary charity concert. Fans are already buzzing, calling the performances "epic," as the event successfully celebrated two decades of the Cherrytree Music Company while raising crucial funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The concert was a night to remember, not just for its star power but for its philanthropic mission. The evening saw a meeting of talent, all rallied by Cherrytree founder Martin Kierszenbaum, to honor the label's innovative history and its ongoing commitment to giving back. Sting, whose catalog of hits with The Police and as a solo artist have resonated for generations, proved once again why he remains a beloved global icon.
Sharing headline duties was the Grammy-winning artist Shaggy, who brought his infectious energy and beloved hits to the Belasco, creating a dynamic and unforgettable collaboration with Sting. Videos emergingfrom the event showcase the unique synergy between the two artists, who have previously collaborated on the Grammy-winning album "44/876."
Beyond the stellar music, the core purpose of the evening was its support for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Net proceeds from the concert are dedicated to the leading children's hospital, which is at the forefront of treating and defeating childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
