Today, Mary J. Blige’s rep told Rolling Stone magazine that the singer was in talks to perform at the concert, but was unable to commit as she has a previous commitment at a Gucci show in Milan, which was booked months earlier.

Other artists confirmed to perform at the September 26 event include Akon, Natalie Cole, Sister Sledge and German boy band US5.
