Randy Phillips and AEG have their fingerprints all over this. I pulled the quotes that made me shake my head...“We Are the World — 25 for Haiti” will premiere this month during coverage of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on NBC, according to a release from promoter AEG Live.
None of the original performers returned Monday because none were asked, said Randy Phillips, chief executive of AEG Live and also Richie’s manager. “This is about a new generation mixed with an old generation,” Phillips said.
Some top music names were either unavailable or chose not to rerecord the original, Phillips said. Taylor Swift’s touring schedule kept her from joining, and Beyonce had returned to New York with husband Jay-Z, he said. Janet Jackson, who was out of town, will contribute vocals remotely, he said.
