Dionne Warwick‘s calling on her A-list friends to help celebrate her 80th birthday … which is doubling as a fundraiser for an important cause.
The legendary singer hopped on “TMZ Live” Friday to dish deets on her Holiday Musical Birthday Celebration … a virtual party and concert, going down Saturday, her 80th birthday.
Dionne’s using the occasion to lift spirits with her angelic voice while also raising money for Hunger Not Impossible … an org connecting kids and families in need with prepaid, nutritious to-go meals from nearby restaurants.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Some of Dionne’s pals joining the festivities include Aloe Blacc and country stars John Rich and the Oak Ridge Boys — but anyone can join through her website, where fans can buy packages with cool perks. Aside from getting entry to the virtual event, you can get a private Zoom meet-and-greet with Dionne and a special shout out from her.
Sorry I’m still freaking out that u know who I am. This is amazing!
