U2, Sheryl Crow, Bon Jovi, and many other popular performers are set to release a special Christmas DVD collection that will be titled “A Very Special Christmas”. All the proceeds from this DVD release will benefit the Special Olympics. The Christmas DVD is set for release on November 20. It will feature various videos from U2, Sting, Bon Jovi, Vanessa Williams, John Mellancamp, and Run DMC, as well as live performances from Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Wyclef Jean, Sheryl Crow, and Tracy Chapman from the ‘98 and 2000 “Christmas At The White House” special.

A Three-Dimensional film of the legendary group U2 in concert is to get a full release next January. It was announced after a promo version of the film received critical acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival this year. The film has been directed by Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington. It includes pieces from over 700 hours of the South American leg of U2’s Vertigo World Tour. Variety reports that National Geographic Cinema Ventured is going to distribute the film globally in 3-D cinemas.

With an appearance by Paul David Hewson and a concert featuring Alicia Keys and Gwen Stefani, organizers of a Manhattan fundraiser raised $1.5 million for AIDS promised that it would not be a standard benefit fare. The 47-year-old activist and lead singer of the legendary Irish group U2, Bono, was honored at Hammerstein Ballroom. Alicia Keys, the 26- year-old R&B artist, took the stage before over a thousand guests, along with Gwen Stefani and Sheryl Crow. Tickets for dinner and the performance ranged from $100,000 for a table for ten to $5,000 for individuals. Seats in the balcony for a pre-concert cocktail party and the show were $1,000.
