Global superstars will unite to honour Australian music royalty John Farnham at a tribute concert.
Jimmy Barnes, Hugh Jackman, Celine Dion and Keith Urban are among the names expected to appear at the concert at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena in September.
Funds raised from the concert will go towards Head and Neck Cancer Australia, which supported the music legend during his own battle in recent years.
Farnham retired from public life after undergoing a 12-hour operation to remove a cancerous tumour from his mouth in 2022.
He has since been received formal confirmation from his medical team that he was all clear of cancer.
Promoter Tony Cochrane told Nine's Today Show the concert was a way to thank Farnham for his lasting contribution to the music industry.
He said, however, it was no easy task getting the show off the ground.
"We had the unique problem that John wasn't so keen for it, (he) didn't think he deserved the attention," Mr Cochrane said.
"It took a lot of work to get him over the line and one of the key things is part of the proceeds of this show is to raise money for Head and Neck Cancer Australia."
More than 120 artists will take to the stage during the one-night performance, including Kate Ceberano, Jessica Mauboy and Tina Arena.
Mr Cochrane said it was difficult to find a date that worked for all the big-name artists.
"Celine is a classic. She said, well (there has) to be a way to do me via satellite," he added.
"The support has just been tremendous. John has been a part of us, he has given so freely to us for 50 years. It's our turn to thank him."
The show will officially be announced at the venue later on Friday.
