Sting & Flea Join Stevie Wonder At FireAid Benefit Concert

At age 74, legendary musician Stevie Wonder is still an undeniable force as a live performer. Wonder played the penultimate set at the FireAid benefit concert on Thursday and threw down a masterful three-set performance featuring special guests Sting and Flea.

Stevie Wonder took the stage at Intuit Dome, which along with the Kia Forum hosted FireAid performances last night. Proceeds from the star-studded benefit concert will go towards rebuilding the communities that have been devastated by the recent Los Angeles wildfires and long-term initiatives to help prevent future fire disasters.

Billie Eilish and her brother FINNEAS introduced Stevie Wonder on Thursday. Wonder addressed the impact of the wildfires and asked the crowd to pray for those who lost their lives. He then opened with the fitting Songs In The Key Of Life ballad “Love’s In Need Of Love Today.”

After the emotional start of the set, Stevie Wonder brought out Sting and Flea for a pair of high-energy hits. Sting dueted with Wonder on “Superstition” and “Higher Ground” as Flea lit it up on slap bass.
