Sting Hosts Star-Studded Concert for the Rainforest

For almost 25 years, Sting and his wife Trudie Styler have been passionate advocates for saving the world's rainforests. The power couple hosted their biennial star-studded fundraising concert at Carnegie Hall on April 3, 2012 and with the help of some very high-wattage guests, raised millions for the Rainforest Foundation. Meryl Streep, Elton John, James Taylor, Jennifer Hudson, Roseanne Cash, Bruno Mars, Channing Tatum, Esperanza Spaulding, and more took to the stage to perform. Bill Clinton, Clive Davis and Aretha Franklin were among the big names who came out to support the cause.
