Fergie’s words on the Concert 4 NYC

After last night’s cancellation of the Concert 4 NYC, the Black Eyed Peas were truly heartbroken. A devastated Fergie called in to Z100 New York this morning to share her feelings with fans. “I hope that people really focus on what this is about—it was for poverty in New York and making New York City a better place.” Listen to the call.

The Empire State Building goes green tonight in support of the 1.8 million New Yorkers living in poverty. Let us know if you see it in all its emerald glory!

Meet the Staff: Kwaku Program Officer Robin Hood: What would be your Black Eyed Peas name?  Kwaku: who.kwa.ku Robin Hood: Name your favorite Black Eyed Peas song. Kwaku: Joints & Jam Robin Hood: How are you preparing yourself mentally and physically for the big day?   Kwaku: I’ve been jogging three miles a day and doing 500 sit-ups. I’ve also been doing lots of toe raises, lunges and squats. At concerts like this, you want to make sure that your legs are in good shape because of all the standing and dancing. On the day of the concert I plan on doing some stretching. You wouldn’t want to pull a muscle halfway through “Where Is the Love?”

Taken from the stage earlier today. In less than 24 hours, 60,000 fans will fill the Great Lawn in Central Park and join the Black Eyed Peas and special guests to help fight poverty in New York City. Tomorrow night is going to be a good, good night.
