Singer Elton John is joined by Ryan White, left, and Jason Robertson - both suffering from AIDS - as he performs at "For The Love of Children," a benefit for children with AIDS and other serious illnesses at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. White died from AIDS after receiving a tainted blood transfusion. He served as a young spokesman in America, countering the public's fears and ignorance about AIDS and HIV. John appeared on stage for the first time in two years.
