Khalid, an El Paso Native, Plans Benefit Concert for Families of the Victims

While Khalid moved around the country growing up in a military home, he spent his senior year in El Paso, Texas and still considers it “home”.

After the terrible El Paso massacre that happened over the weekend, Khalid has pledged to host a benefit concert later this month for the families of the victims.

Over the past few days, my mind and heart have been heavy. Hearing/seeing an act of terrorism happen so close to home, my family, and my friends has been unbelievable and shocking. Singing “915” and “city of El Paso” on tour every night feels indescribable

Over the past few days, I’ve been thinking of ways to help out and support the city.
I’m planning for a benefit concert later this month, all of the proceeds will go to the families affected by the shooting. Sending everyone my love and will keep you guys updated
