Kanye Will perform in New York today as part of a special World AIDS Day concert.

If you're live in New York, you probably avoid Times Square at all costs, but tonight may be an exception. The World AIDS Day concert is taking place, and a few big names are showing up to raise awareness -- including none other than Kanye West.

While U2 was set to headline the event, lead singer Bono was recently in a bike accident which has forced him to withdraw from the show. The band will be lead by Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay's Chris Martin in his absence, but the real draw will be a performance from the always entertaining Kanye West, who will likely get a more prominent set now that Bono's bowed out.

If you can't make it to the show, the whole thing will be streaming on YouTube starting at 7:30 Eastern. Here's hoping we get to hear some brand new Ye material.
