FireAid live updates: Billie Eilish, No Doubt, Stevie Nicks perform at L.A. benefit
The wildfires that decimated parts of Los Angeles were historic in their devastation and cost.
The FireAid benefit concert will go down in history not only because it features some of the biggest names in music on the same stage, but for the message of hope those artists spread.
And, hopefully, their performances will raise a monumental sum to aid in recovery and rebuilding.
So many musicians wanted to bring their spotlight to the cause, that what was initially set as a single event turned into dual concerts at the newly opened Intuit Dome and local landmark Kia Forum,
both of which were streamed for free on major streaming services, social media like YouTube and TikTok and broadcast stations.
No one could have expected a Nirvana reunion with a rotating cast of female singers, but that’s what fans received with Dave Grohl behind the drums, Pat Smear on guitar and Krist Novoselic on bass.
The Los Angeles-bred band, some of whose members lost homes in the fires, offered the apropos “Time Spent in Los Angeles.”
