Kevin Bacon Performs on 14,110-Foot Pikes Peak

Actor Kevin Bacon hiked the 14,110-foot Pikes Peak (in Colorado Springs, Colorado) 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.
