A host of massive names have been added to the Hope For Haiti Now telethon- which will take place this Friday in Los Angeles, New York and LONDON.

The event is being organised by George Clooney and MTV to raise money for the earthquake hit country- where up to 200,000 people have died.

We can confirm that Coldplay will perform live from the capital while Jay-Z, Rihanna, Bono and The Edge will also be in London and will play a special collaboration for the fundraiser.

Wyclef Jean hosts in New York with Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Hudson, Mary. J Blige, Shakira and Sting all performing.

In Los Angeles Clooney will take charge of proceedings with more huge artists set to play live.

He’ll be joined by Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder and Taylor Swift.

Keith Urban, Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock are set to team up to perform at the LA leg.

All the tracks will then be released via iTunes with proceedings going to help Haiti. The concert will be shown live on MTV UK and later on VIVA.
