David Bowie memorial concert to be live streamed for charity

A David Bowie memorial concert scheduled for April 1 will be streamed live internationally for charity, reports the BBC.

Promoters of the event have organized with Skype to stream the concert for a minimum donation of £15 ($21). The proceeds will go to arts, music and education charities. Fans can donate on the fundraising platform ammado.

Eighteen artists have been confirmed to perform in the concert devoted to Bowie, including Blondie and The Pixies.

The "Music of David Bowie" concert will be held in New York City at Radio City Music Hall on April 1 after a concert on March 31 at New York's Carnegie Hall.

David Bowie died of cancer in January at the age of 69.
