Then, superstar Rihanna lends her voice to the relief efforts with a special performance of “Redemption Song.” R&B artist Maxwell, who will sing “Fistful of Tears,” shares how his Haitian roots inspired him to spend years fighting to end hunger there and why he believes something positive will come out of the recent devastation.
