Linkin Park donates $100K for tsunami
Friday, December 31, 2004 Posted: 10:09 AM EST (1509 GMT)

NEW YORK (Billboard) -- With memories of a successful summer tour in Southeast Asia still fresh in their minds, the members of Linkin Park are spearheading an effort to help victims of the earthquake and tsunami that have devastated the region.

The Los Angeles-based rock act has set up an organization called Music for Relief (http://www.musicforrelief.org) with an initial donation of $100,000. It will directly support American Red Cross (http://www.redcross.org) programs.

"We are fortunate to be in a position to help, but this needs to be a broader effort," said guitarist Brad Delson.

"If one of our fans can donate $10, then that's going to help ... We are also going to appeal to our musical peers by asking them to donate as well."

More than 125,000 people are confirmed dead in the wake of a tsunami that followed Sunday's 9.0 magnitude earthquake in the depths of the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Sumatra.

Over the summer, Linkin Park played sold-out stadium shows in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, which all suffered tsunami fatalities.

I think its great that the people can donate, are donating. How many other millionaires are parting with their precious money? Not too many, they just complain how the US doesn't give enough

I am not a particular fan of this band's music, although I have several friends that are, but I am particularly impressed that they would bring up the fact that they benefitted so much from the peoples of these countries during their tours and jump to turn around and give that money back in a time of need. I realize they can afford to do this, but I still find it a particularly unselfish and well thought out act. This is how people are supposed to behave.
