Pharrell Williams and Al Gore have announced new Live Earth concerts in a bid to raise awareness of climate change.
Launching the event at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Gore said that the vision for Live Earth was to have a billion voices with one message that is to demand climate action now, the BBC reported.
Williams, who is the event's creative director, said that instead of just having people perform, they literally are going to have humanity harmonise all at once.
The event comes eight years after the original, which featured stars such as Madonna, The Police and Metallica.
The sequel will take place on 18th June, 2015 in Paris, New York, Brazil, South Africa, China and Australia.
