Blake Shelton raises $500,000 for disaster relief


Blake Shelton and Reba McEntire have raised more than $500,000 to aid disaster relief efforts in Oklahoma.
Two special concerts were held last week at the Choctaw Events Centre in Durant, Oklahoma, one of the towns damaged by recent tornadoes.
McEntire and Voice judge Shelton, who both hail from the state, opened the shows with a duet of a cover of Vince Gill's hit 'Oklahoma Swing'.
Kelly Clarkson and Reba's young sister Susie McEntire-Eaton were also on hand to help generate funds for recovery efforts.
Money raised from the events is to be pledged to the Tushka Disaster Relief Fund.
Shelton recently married his long-time girlfriend Miranda Lambert in front of more than 500 guests
