Sixty has never looked so good!

Musical stars Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige, and will.i.am were just a few of the celebrities attending Rock n’ Roll hitmaker Sting’s 60th birthday celebration at the Beacon Theater in New York City.

The star-studded event also doubled as a charity concert for the Robin Hood Foudation, an organization fighting poverty.

Mary J. Blige, along with Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen and others, took to the stage to perform and honor Sting.

The affair raised over $2.5 million for charity.
