Lauryn Hill, Sarah McLachlan, Busta Rhymes To Play Marley Tribute Show

Lauryn Hill, Sarah McLachlan, Busta Rhymes, and Sheryl Crow will all "catch a fire" in December for a special concert event and TV tribute to reggae and rock legend Bob Marley.

Other performers coming out for the "Bob Marley All-Star Tribute," being held on December 4 at Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica, include Erykah Badu, Queen Latifah, and Seal.

For the gig, the aforementioned performers will join Rita Marley, Bob's widow, and Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, Bob's progeny, for special renditions of Bob Marley songs. Another one of Bob's sons, Stephen Marley, will serve as musical co-director for the program along with veteran producer Don Was.
