Tennis superstar and hometown hero Andre Agassi has announced the most powerful lineup ever of superstars for his 14th annual benefit concert set for Sept. 26 at the Wynn, the benefit’s second consecutive year there. Rockers Daughtry, singer Brian McKnight, comedian Dane Cook and music legend David Foster will join country king Tim McGraw, and Andre says he will add more celebrities by the time the big night arrives later this month.
My pal David will serve as musical director once again. Last night, Andre was honored for his education work at the opening night of the U.S. Open in New York along with soccer star Mia Hamm, football favorite Doug Flutie and retired San Antonio Spurs star David Robinson as athletes who have made extraordinary charitable contributions to the community. It was the first time back in the stadium for Andre since he played the last match of his pro career at the 2006 U.S. Open.
