Black Eyed Peas and The Backstreet Boys were among the artists who took part in a tsunami benefit concert on Saturday in one of the countries affected by the Boxing Day earthquake and tidal wave. Organisers say the concert raised 10 million ringgit (£1.38m).
Crowds were gathering hours before the event as concert-goers turned up early to catch a glimpse of performers' arrivals on the red carpet, and the eight-hour concert, held near the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, attracted well over ten thousand spectators.
The Backstreet boys were greeted with a rapturous reception, but for many the highlight of the gig was seeing former Fugees
Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill reunited on stage to perform some of their most popular hits. More local artists included Malaysian jazz queen Sheila Majid, and Indonesian singer Ruth Sahanaya, as well as Hong Kong star Nicholas Tse and martial arts supremo
Jackie Chan, who performed a mandarin love song.
Other stars from the movie world were in attendance, as celebrities such as Carmen Electra, Ken Watanabe and Chinese actress Bai
Ling also took to the stage.
CMU's favourite Bond girl Michelle Yeoh said: "On 26 Dec, a terrible disaster struck the area we call home. This has moved many of us to act, that is why we are all here tonight. We cannot let those faces in the headlines just fade away."
