DENVER (AP) – Actor Kevin Bacon hiked the 14,110-foot Pikes Peak to play a concert at the top as part of an event to raise money for a cancer charity.
Bacon and his brother, Michael, climbed Pikes Peak on Saturday with about 95 people as part of a fund raiser for the Love Hope Strength Foundation cancer charity.
The hikers made the event a tribute to Farrah Fawcett, who died Thursday after battling anal cancer.
At the mountaintop, their band, The Bacon Brothers, performed three songs.
The brothers also were playing a concert Saturday night in Denver to raise money for the foundation, which has held fundraising concerts at Machu Picchu in Peru and Mount Everest.
