BLACK EYED PEAS REUNITE FOR JOSH DUHAMEL BENEFIT CONCERT

It helps to have an "in" with the band—especially when your wife is in  the band. Just days after announcing that they were planning to go on indefinite hiatus, the Black Eyed Peas are coming out of temporary retirement to play a benefit gig being organized by Fergie's movie star hubby, Josh Duhamel.

His hometown of Minot, N.D., was racked by terrible flooding in June. Now the Peas are coming to the rescue. The Grammy-winning quartet will take the stage on Sept. 3 and perform at the North Dakota State Fair Grandstand to raise funds to help the devastated community and those victims left homeless by the disaster. Proceeds will go to the Minot Area Community Foundation Recovery Fund.
