As well as Trent and Billy, the global event will feature Gary Oldman, Jane's Addiction's Perry Farrell, Macy Gray, Bush's Gavin Rossdale, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, The Cult's Ian Astbury and Halestorm's Lzzy Hale.

"We'll hear different interpretations of David's songs; some with totally new arrangements that have never been heard before."
