Stars rock fans at Great Wall

Alicia Keys, Nellie McKay and Cyndi Lauper brought modern pop music to an ancient setting, performing for thousands of Chinese fans at the foot of the Great Wall.

Also on the bill were Boyz II Men and vocalist Sylvia Tosun.

Organisers described the concert as the first by foreign musicians at the wall, although British DJ Paul Oakenfold performed there last year and later released an album of the show.

Some of the proceeds are to go to a Chinese children’s charity.
