Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono, Linkin Park Team Up For Japan Earthquake Relief Effort

March 18, 2011
Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono, Linkin Park Team Up For Japan Earthquake Relief EffortLady Gaga, Yoko Ono and Linkin Park are among the stars who have teamed up to raise money for the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

The singer, who designed a wristband for the Japan victims earlier this week (March 14), has taken to Twitter do discuss fundraising ideas and upcoming benefit concerts to help raise more money.

A selection of music stars such as Lou Reed, Sonic Youth, Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and Bryan Adams will take part in a series of concerts including 12-hour benefit concert in New York on April 9, Spinner reports.

The relief efforts are under way in Japan following the 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami that hit the country's North East coast last week.
