Alicia Keys - Will.i.am's Star-studded Charity Gig Raises $3.3 Million

The Black Eyed Peas headlined the Trans4M gig at The Avalon Hollywood club and recruited Keys to fill in for absent bandmate Fergie on a rendition of Where Is the Love?, while British singer Estelle joined the group for The Time (Dirty Bit).

Peas stars will.i.am and Taboo also raised laughs as back-up dancers for Brown as the R&B star sang his hits Every Little Step and Tenderoni.

Rapper Ludacris also performed, while Keys staged a solo set and belted out her tracks Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart and Girl On Fire for guests including socialite Paris Hilton, MC Hammer and embattled comedian Katt Williams.

The concert proved to be a huge success for will.i.am and his i.am.angel Foundation, which gathers funds for organisations in his native Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles.
