The British star performed Sunday evening, as part of his "Symphonica Tour," to support French AIDS charity Sidaction. He was
cheered on by a roll call of celebrities including "The Artist" actress Berenice Bejo, fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier and Charlie Chaplin's actress granddaughter Dolores Chaplin.
The concert was followed by a star-studded gala dinner which hoped to raise several hundred thousand euros for the fight against AIDS.

ALBUM REVIEW
Dave Matthews Band goes deeper
DUNCAN MCHENRY
dmcheny@kansan.com
But die-hard fans will be glad to discover that the weirdness is only skin deep. Working with long-time producer Steve Lillywhite for the first time since 1998's "Before These Crowded Streets," the band sticks to their signature, fiddle-infused rock on "Away From the World."
The eight studio album from Dave Matthews Band has a reclusive title and strange cover art that looks like a Picasso rendition of the Brady Bunch.
The album isn't totally devoid of risks, as Dave pulls out his ukelele for the first time ever in a recording studio on the moving ballad
"Sweet," but the instrumentation is mostly true to the DMB formula
As usual, the snappy precision of Carter Beauford on the drums is a critical sonic backbone.
Beauford's role is especially prominent on "Gaucho," as he taps out a rapid-fire shuffle beat behind limber guitar lines.
Dave also goes beyond his typical songwriting themes of love, life, loss and more love on "Gaucho," pondering the current state of humanity: "We crossed the oceans wide/Built cities to the sky/Looked up and we were flying/But will we not survive ourselves."
The lowpoint of "Away From the World" is the song "If Only", which drones on like elevator music with too much ambition. It's the only lull
in an otherwise excellent, if never quite spectacular, Dave Matthews Band record.
The last track, "Drunken Soldier," is the closest the album gets to producing a classic hit. The song could almost pass for a musical suite at 9:45 in length, with the mellow violin of Boyd Tinsley guiding the listener through polyrhythms and twangy guitar.
Though it doesn't include any tracks on the level with classics like "Satellite" or "Crash Into Me", "Away From The World" is a solid addition to the DMB discography.
