Sophia Bush, Chelsea Handler, Paris Hilton and Natasha Bedingfield are just a few of the many famous attendees at the Belvedere (RED) Pre-Grammy Party at Avalon Thursday night.
The party was to benefit the (RED) campaign, which raises funds and awareness to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.
Mary J. Blige was set to perform what night who has supported the cause for years. She states, "I'm delighted to be supporting (RED) in their fight against HIV & AIDS in Africa. It is one of the most devastating issues faced by millions in Africa and if we can raise awareness with this event we'll be one step closer to an HIV / AIDS free generation in 2015."
DJ Rukus was playing music before the private concert, while guests sipped on signature Belvedere cocktails including pink mojitos and St. Clements.
Around 11 p.m. Blige hit the stage in a black bodysuit and boots. She performed her My Life classics such as “You Bring me Joy” and more recent hits such as “No More Drama” and “Family Affair.” Before singing her track “Just Fine,” she told the crowd, “All those people we are rocking for are going to be just fine.”
Fans from around the world were able to view the concert streaming live via Facebook.
Following the performance, Grammy nominee DJ Skrillex began spinning songs and the after party included a surprise performance by Sheila E.
The Grammys will take place on Sunday February 12 on CBS.
