Winehouse plays Mandela charity bash
TinPanAl by Alex Denney May 30th, 2008

Amy Winehouse will perform at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday bash at London's Hyde Park next month.

Also appearing at the June 27 'do', held in support of Mandela’s AIDS awareness charity 46664, are Razorlight, Sugababes, Annie Lennox and Queen, whose Sun City performances in apartheid-era South Africa drew ‘a fair amount of flak’ back in 1984.

Tickets are £65; get ‘em here if you fancy rubbing shoulders with the likes of Bill Clinton, Robert De Niro and Forest Whitaker, who are all Facebook ‘maybes’ for the event.
