Black Eyed Peas performed a private concert for around 700 people in Shanghai this past Tuesday in support of Red Cross Relief efforts for those who suffered in that devastating earthquake on May 12th that killed more than 69,000 people.

The concert started out to be a promotional event for French spirits maker Pernod Ricard but ended up as a fundraiser raising about 870,000 dollars which is a very good thing.

The band members donated personal items, including a guitar, to a charity auction held in conjunction with the show.

“We fell in love with China and the Chinese people when we visited here before and so wanted to use tonight to do all we could to help the relief effort in the aftermath of the earthquake,” will.i.am told the crowd.
