The reason for the split was citied as a 'discord or conflict of personalities' as the official divorce settlement allows Bullock to complete the adopting of her son Louis as a single parent.

The line-up featured big-name stars including Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood, but fans were stunned when Hollywood actress Bullock stepped on to the stage.

Other performers at the benefit included stars with more musical experience than Bullock, such as Taylor Swift, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and ZZ Top.
