50 Cent pulls out of Live 8
Hip-hop star 50 Cent has dropped out of performing at the Live 8 concert in Philadelphia next month, because it clashes with work on his debut movie, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’.
The highly-anticipated follow-up to 1985's Live Aid will feature stars including U2, REM, Snoop Dogg, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Will Smith, Coldplay and Pink Floyd performing at simultaneous gigs in London, Berlin, Paris, Rome and Philadelphia.
