Stevie Wonder pays for funeral of children killed in fire 

Singer and musician Stevie Wonder is to pay the funeral expenses for five children who were killed in a house fire, his publicist said.

Wonder was heartbroken after hearing about the fire and wanted to do something to help the family, said his publicist, Ira Tucker.

"I don't think he has ever done anything like this before," Tucker said. "It's just good that something can be lifted from them."

Wonder, 55, also hopes to visit the families while he is in Philadelphia for the Live 8 concert on July 2.
