Metallica, Rihanna to play 'Valor' show

NEW YORK -- Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, Metallica and Rihanna are among the artists booked for a televised concert from the National Mall in Washington to raise awareness of veterans' issues.

"The Concert for Valor" is planned for 6 p.m. Veteran's Day, Nov. 11. It will be televised by HBO, which will provide its signal free to nonsubscribers.

Jamie Foxx, Dave Grohl, comic John Oliver, Carrie Underwood and the Zac Brown Band also are scheduled to perform.

Appearances by Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg also are scheduled. Other participants will be announced in the coming weeks.

Starbucks chairman Howard Schultz is leading the event. The concert is free, but sponsors hope to direct fans to ways they can volunteer or donate money to causes helping war veterans.

"They've stepped up," Schultz said. "Now it's our turn."

The concert will feature stories from a book Schultz has written about veterans' experiences.
