Jon Wiederhorn of Loudwire reports that HENRY ROLLINS has recruited SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor, ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian, SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo, JANE’S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro and members of ROB ZOMBIE‘s band, including guitarist John 5, for a benefit concert November 30th at The Avalon Theater in Hollywood, California.
All proceeds from the show will go to Drop In The Bucket, a Los Angeles and Gulu, Uganda, based non-profit organization that constructs water wells and sanitation systems at large rural schools in sub-Saharan Africa.
In 2010, Rollins traveled to Africa to observe Drop In The Bucket’s lifesaving operations. "Drop in the bucket is trying to make things better," Rollins said. "There’s no profit incentive here. It’s only about getting people to water and keeping them alive and healthy."
Artist Shepard Fairey, who designed the exclusive poster for the event (pictured above), will DJ the show.
