Over 450,000 packed out Rome's Circus Maximus on Tuesday night for Quincy Jones' 'We Are The Future' concert. As previously reported the charity event - which featured performances from Carlos Santana, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, Herbie Hancock and Josh Groban among others - is the first in a programme of fundraising initiatives to help children in war-torn countries. The concert was broadcast live on MTV Italy and by Yahoo!, and XM Radio. It will air on MTV elsewhere in the world over the next few weeks.
