Chris Brown set for Haiti benefit show

Chris Brown is to perform at the Virginia Stand Up! A Call To Action benefit concert for Haiti next month on May 15 at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.

The show will take place in the 'I Can Transform Ya' singer's home state this May, with the aim of raising funds for the country after it was devastated by an earthquake earlier this year.

Brown explained his decision to take part in the charity show, saying, "I wanted to find a way to contribute personally to the ongoing Haitian relief effort and also support an organization that helps people in need in my home state."
