AR Rahman is set to team up with six-time Grammy award-winning artist John Legend for his ambitious project, an album that will bring together leading international musicians. Legend, who has been inducted into the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame, may also be joining the Mozart of Madras for a peace concert in Sydney to soothe relations between Indians and Australians following the spate of racist attacks.
AR Rahman will team up with John Legend for an international peace concert in racism-scarred Australia. "Rahman first met Legend during the Oscars when they performed songs from their respective movies --Slumdog Millionaire (Jai Ho) and Wall-E (Down to Earth). They have been in touch ever since," says a source. "Rahman popped the question to John and he was ecstatic with the offer. They will be associating now for the international album that features world famous artists like Mick Jagger, Pussycat Dolls, Kylie Minogue besides the peace concert in Sydney."
An aide of Rahman told DNA, "The logistics of the album as well as the peace concert are being worked out. Rahman wants to hold the peace concert next year at Parramatta Park in Sydney, most probably on January 16."
