The one-night-only event will raise funds to help rebuild communities that were devastated in the natural disaster and help prevent similar incidents in the future.
âContributions made to FireAid will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation, for short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters,â a press release reads. âThe Annenberg Foundation, with decades of philanthropic leadership in our community, including rapid response, will help coordinate a team to direct funds for the greatest impact.

âThis is the most valuable thing I own. Itâs a folder of photos of my father, spanning his life from being a baby, an educator, a husband and a father. Itâs the only evidence of his life that will exist over time,â Mayer wrote via Instagram on January 9. âThese are the âdocumentsâ you read about people taking from their homes. When you hear someone say theyâve lost everything in a fire, this is much of that everything, if not all of it. Those who say theyâll be OK still have their folders and their albums. Those who are inconsolable have lost them. Just behind the immeasurable loss of life is the loss of the proof of life.â
He added, âI donât practice prayer but tonight I will say one for everyone who no longer has these items. Itâs not about the art and the collectibles. Itâs the photos, the letters, the class rings, the eyeglasses and the things we keep to remind us that those we loved were here. May those who have lost so much find some semblance of hope and support from their family and friends. Stay safe, look out for yourself and for one another, and trust that humanity and all it entails, though sometimes hard to see, is alive and well. This is truly devastating.â
In regards to the benefit concert, Mayer wrote in an Instagram note that it was âan honorâ to be included in the performance lineup.
