Australian celebrity Olivia Newton-John<\/a><\/strong> is using her fame for good. The actress and musician will be hosting a benefit for the Australian wild fires<\/a> that will feature some big name artists. Performances by Queen + Adam Lambert<\/strong>, Michael Bubl\u00e9<\/strong>, k.d. lang<\/strong>, 5 Seconds of Summer<\/a><\/strong> and more will take place on Sunday, Feb. 16, with special coverage being aired on Saturday, Feb. 29. <\/p>\n

The event will be called Fire Fight Australia<\/a>, and FOX will be airing the special coverage. It will be held at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium, and the proceeds<\/a> will be used to benefit “key organizations providing vital short, medium and long-term rescue, recover and rehabilitation assistance in Australia’s fire-affected areas,” a press release stated. <\/p>\n

Specifically, proceeds will be directed to The Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR), “an organization working on the ground with Australian rural communities affected by disaster, supporting them to rebuild.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Newton-John has been an active voice in helping raise awareness and support<\/a> for the fires in Australia, and even urged fans recently on Instagram<\/a> to give what they can. <\/p>\n

“People ask me ‘How can we help with the Australian bushfires?’ By buying this lovely t-shirt you will be helping my fellow Aussies and our unique wildlife who lost their homes and habitat,” she posted with a photo of herself rocking the cute T-shirt. “The OFFICIAL Fire Fight Australia t-shirt is available for pre-order now at www.firefightaustralia.com. 100% of proceeds from this limited edition t-shirt are going to national bushfire relief.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
