Update: EltonJohn at Rainforst Benefit 2004
Thursday, April 22 2004

Elton John wore a strap-on beak as he sang "The Woody Woodpecker Song" during "Singin' in the Rainforest," the 12th Rainforest Foundation Carnegie Hall Benefit Concert on April 21, 2004.

Sting and Sir Elton John performed to raise money for a charity which supports rainforest tribes. They joined Billy Joel, James Taylor and Bette Midler at the city's Carnegie Hall at a fund-raising show in aid of the Rainforest Foundation.

The singers reinterpreted hit songs from musical and film history at the Singing in the Rainforest concert. The charity was launched by Sting and his wife Trudie Styler in 1989.

It was set up to support the indigenous populations of the world's rainforests. This year's fund-raiser - the 13th annual event - was hosted by actors Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith.
