But it wasn’t so much who the performers were as what they were doing that had Dartboard disbelieving his own eyes. And Dartboard doesn’t mean the famous undressing. (A much-celebrated moment that...
...more of pop's hottest acts gathering in an Alpine village to chew the fat, hang out and occasionally perform together - for no fees and no charitable cause - under a tent with a seating capacity of just 1,750.

Until Aug. 3, the world's best classical musicians and singers will gather in the Swiss mountain village of Verbier for a series of concerts that are guaranteed to have aficionados seeing stars...
