Christina Aguilera has been confirmed to perform at a benefit concert for victims of Hurricane Sandy, which swept across the East Coast of the US this week.

The 'Dirrty' singer will take to the stage later today (2^nd November) alongside the likes of rocker Bruce Spingsteen, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and Sting at the event, taking place at the NBC Studios at 30 Rockefeller Center.

The funds raised from the show will be donated to the American Red Cross to provide shelter, food, emotional support, and other assistance to the millions affected by the disaster.

The storm has caused chaos in New York and the surrounding areas, closing public transport and the stock exchange.

Celebrities from the world of music took to their social networking sites to offer their thoughts during the time, with the likes of Lady Gaga admitting how "sad" she was to see what people were enduring.

The 'Marry The Night' singer confessed she was missing her family - who were caught up in the Hurricane.

Concerts have also been cancelled across the area, including benefit performer Bruce Springsteen's Rochester gig and Rita Ora's Highline Ballroom show.
