Black Eyed Peas planning New York charity show

The Black Eyed Peas are reportedly planning to raise money for charity by holding a massive show in New York City's Central Park this summer (11).

The group, fronted by Fergie and will.i.am, is said to have scheduled a fundraising gig for 9 June (11) on the famous Great Lawn, following in the footsteps of stars including Sir Elton John, Bon Jovi, and Simon + Garfunkel, who have all played in the park.

A source tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "The concert has been set up with Mayor Bloomberg's office. They want it to rival the concert that Simon & Garfunkel did in Central Park."
