What kind of event could bring Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Bruce Springstein, Usher, Will.I.Am, John Mellencamp, Shakira, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow and Josh Groban together to share a stage? A massive charity concert? A glitzy awards show? Nope. The inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama. Those celebrities and a ton of others have signed up to perform at “We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial,” the first of many official events sponsored by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. According to the The Washington Post, the 90-minute concert will begin on Sunday at 2 p.m., and HBO will air it for free (for all cable and satellite subscribers) that night at 7 p.m.
