Rascal Flats to perform on women's cancer awareness show

Rascal Flatts will perform on a first-of-its-kind television event “Frosted Pink presented by sanofi-aventis and Wachovia.” The group will fly to Los Angeles next Saturday to tape the special and will perform songs from newly released album Still Feels Good as well as “Skin,” their poignant song about a young girl with cancer. The show will feature a mix of music, figure skating, and Hollywood stars to empower women, raise awareness of women’s cancers, and inspire action as more than 250,000 women are diagnosed with women’s cancers every year.

"Each of us knows someone who has been affected by cancer and hopefully this show will help bring further attention to the fight,” says Gary LeVox, lead singer for Rascal Flatts. “We wish for the day that no mother, sister, wife or daughter ever have to come to terms with this disease."

The special will also feature musical performances by Olivia Newton-John, Joss Stone, Anastacia, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Craig Morgan and Heart plus figure skaters Katarina Witt, Nancy Kerrigan, Kristi Yamaguchi, Rena Inoue and John Baldwin, Sasha Cohen, Rosalynn Sumners, Katia Gordeeva, Oksana Baiul, Kurt Browning, Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto.

“Frosted Pink presented by sanofi-aventis and Wachovia” from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica will air nationally on ESPN on ABC on Sunday, October 14 at 4pm ET / 3 pm CT / 2 pm MT / 3pm PT The show will re-air on The Style Network on Monday, October 22 at 8 pm et/pt, followed by subsequent airings throughout the remainder of the month.
