Lady Gaga is performed along side Dame Shirley Bassey, Elton John, and Sting. The event marked the 21st anniversary of the charitable organization, founded by Sting and Trudie Styler to help protect and preserve the world’s threatened rainforest areas. The performers, plus additional surprise guests, will attend a live auction and gala dinner following the concert. During a phone interview on March 23, between Styler and Billboard, Styler mentioned why the specific performers were chosen.

Lady Gaga’s such a great young woman, […] Its a winning combination – we’re going to have a riotous time up there. Sting, Elton and Gaga will play together, and the boys will be performing with Dame Shirley, doing a great rendition of "Hey Big Spender". |
