Rufus Wainwright
to Perform at Recovery Rally

On September 27 thousands of people in alcohol and drug recovery programs are expected to form a human chain across the Brooklyn Bridge before marching to New York City Hall and hearing a performance by gay musician Rufus Wainwright.

The Recovery Rally is being organized by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence with the purpose of spreading the message that addiction is treatable and recovery possible. The rally is part of the Recovery Project, a a multiyear initiative of the A&E Network -- which broadcasts the reality show Intervention -- to address addiction.

After the walk across the bridge, rally participants will gather at City Hall Park in Lower Manhattan where they will be greeted by politicians and celebrities. Wainwright -- who speaks openly about his former addiction to crystal methamphetamine -- will cap the day's event with a solo performance. (Neal Broverman, The Advocate)
