Stars come together to celebrate Drake's life
Artists including Dave Grohl, Eddie Vedder, Norah Jones and Jack Johnson are set to appear on a forthcoming Nick Drake tribute CD.

Video footage of the making of the album is also set to be included on the DVD, and the project will be released on Jack Johnson's Brushfire label.
