46664 Concert Honouring Nelson Mandela at 90!
Artist:
Leona Lewis
A Gathering of 46,664 Great Friends and Supporters. London, Hyde Park, June 27, 2008
Many of the world’s most powerful and instantly recognisable figures and a concert audience of 46,664 will pay their tributes to one of the world’s most loved leaders, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and icon of freedom, Nelson ‘Madiba’ Mandela, as he turns 90 later this year.
Leading world politicians from both sides of the Atlantic, names from business, sport, film and entertainment – and some of the most successful musicians of the past twenty years – make up the birthday list for three days of celebrations, culminating in a
three-hour evening concert:
The 46664 Concert Honouring Nelson Mandela at 90.
London’s Hyde Park
Friday June 27 2008
President Bill Clinton, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Will Smith, Ms. Oprah Winfrey, Robert de Niro and Forest Whitaker and Lewis Hamilton are amongst those who will attend some of the events.
Artists specially invited to perform for Mr. Mandela on Friday rounding out the twenty years since the Free Mandela event in 1988, will include Annie Lennox, Leona Lewis, Amy Winehouse, Sugababes, Dame Shirley Bassey, Razorlight, Andrea and Jamelia.
Fundraising events as part of the celebrations will benefit the charitable organisations established by Mr. Mandela: the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund and the Mandela Rhodes Foundation, which through their work have sought to bring about change and make a difference to lives in South Africa, Africa and elsewhere over the past 14 years. The concert proceeds will go to the 46664 campaign which raises awareness about the impact of AIDS, especially in Africa, and promotes effective HIV prevention measures throughout the world.
