Leona Lewis free for Nelson Mandela
Leona Lewis has signed up to sing at Nelson Mandela’s star-studded 90th birthday concert in London’s Hyde Park this summer. It will be the X Factor champ’s biggest gig and the icing on the cake after her successful globe-trotting.
Leona has been setting the States on fire with debut album Spirit and single Bleeding Love. And on Saturday the London-born beauty was in Australia — one of a host of countries where she has topped the charts — for the Oz MTV Music Awards.
She will be joined at Hyde Park by Amy Winehouse — legal and marriage woes permitting — Duffy, Razorlight, Keane, Sugababes, Eminem and Jamelia on June 27.
The 45,000 tickets, priced from $130, will be sold using a Glasto-style online registration system which opens for a week from tomorrow.
