Elton
John, Celine Dion Raise $2.1M for Harrah's Workers
As reported by the Sun Herald:
"Celine Dion and Elton John sang together
for the first time Monday night at a benefit
to raise money for Harrah's Entertainment Inc.
workers affected by last year's hurricanes.
"The
pair, who sang duets of 'Sorry Seems to be the
Hardest Word' and 'Saturday Night's Alright
for Fighting' before a packed Colosseum at Caesars
Palace, were joined by Jerry Seinfeld to raise
$2.1 million for some 8,000 casino workers in
the Gulf Coast region.
"...'I've
played in Biloxi many times,' John said. 'I'm
just glad we can do a little something for those
people's lives that will never be the same again
for many, many years. God bless them.'..."
