Gwen Stefani helps out Californian fire victims Proceeds from her show will support relief efforts 30.Oct.07 2:21am Gwen Stefani has announced that she intends to donate the proceeds from her show tomorrow (October 30) in
San Diego, California to the victims of fires that have been plaguing the state for the past week.
Stefani, who is a native of Southern California, will give the profits from the show to local charity
San Diego Foundation to support fire relief efforts.
High temperatures, low humidity and strong Santa Ana winds have been fuelling the fires, which have cost thousands of
California residents their homes and have caused tens of thousands to evacuate.
"When I heard about the devastation of the fires, at first I felt I should cancel my show out of respect, but then it occurred to me there might be a more useful solution,"
Stefani said in a radio interview according to
E! Online.
Stefani is in the final week of her
Sweet Escape world tour, which saw her performing at the
Honda Center in
Anaheim, California over the weekend, where she invited the
USC marching band on stage.
