Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin together live today – on TV on Nov 29
Today, on October 30, 2009, Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox are performing as reported (see original news here) at one of the Rock’n'Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary concerts. Unfortunately the concerts are not aired live but a tv special and a DVD release are planned:
A four-hour television special of highlights of the concerts will premiere at 8pm on Sunday, November 29, on HBO. The Rock Hall plans to release a DVD of performances from the anniversary shows early next year, too.
Organizers also have lined up TV deals for the concerts in 20 other countries, from South America to Europe to Asia.
“They’re going to be seen all over the world, which raises the profile of the Hall of Fame,” said Joel Peresman, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. (source)
HBO has even already put up a webpage for the 4 hours tv special which you can find here (it doesn’t mention Annie’s name – but “many more” – which doesn’t necessarily mean she’s not going to be on the program).
