Blake Shelton and NBC have begun to organize a benefit
concert for the victims of the
Oklahoma
tornado that have left thousands homeless, killed at least 24 people and
decimated the city of
Moore.
"We'll know more about it in the next 24 hours,"
Shelton told
Billboard at
the conclusion of Tuesday edition of "The Voice." "I'm hoping it
will raise a lot of money. Obviously it will be televised and will happen
really quickly."
While pointing to his fellow coach on "The Voice,"
Usher, Shelton
noted, "I can call in some really big favors."
Shelton is a native of Ada, Okla.,
about 75 miles south of where the tornado struck on May 20.
Shelton
and his wife Miranda Lambert opened Tuesday's "Voice" with "Over
You," a ballad the duo had written about his older brother being killed in
a car accident. Unlike most "Voice" shows that encourage wall-to-wall
applause, the Tuesday edition opened in silence.
