Blake Shelton and NBC have begun to organize a benefit concert for the victims of the
Oklahomatornado that have left thousands homeless, killed at least 24 people and decimated the city of
Moore.
"We'll know more about it in the next 24 hours,"
Shelton told
Billboard at the conclusion of Tuesday edition of "The Voice." "I'm hoping it will raise a lot of money. Obviously it will be televised and will happen really quickly."
While pointing to his fellow coach on "The Voice," Usher, Sheltonnoted, "I can call in some really big favors."
Shelton is a native of Ada, Okla., about 75 miles south of where the tornado struck on May 20.
Sheltonand his wife Miranda Lambert opened Tuesday's "Voice" with "Over You," a ballad the duo had written about his older brother being killed in a car accident. Unlike most "Voice" shows that encourage wall-to-wall applause, the Tuesday edition opened in silence.
