‘Hope For Haiti Now’ Backstage Interview

[weber_dubois22]

At precisely 10:30 p.m. in London — two and a half hours before the start of Friday night’s (January 22) “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon — Rihanna was finally in the same room as Jay-Z, Bono and The Edge, her three collaborators on “Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour),” the song they had recorded just three days earlier in studios all around the world.

The four, backed by Jay’s cracking live band and a full gospel choir, were about to perform the song together for the first time, in front of a studio of television producers and, really, the entire world. But not a single one of them was nervous.
