Princes William and Harry have announced that a special concert will take place on 1st July to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of their mother Princess Diana.
A memorial service will take place in London and the concert will be held at Wembley Stadium. Sir Elton John, Duran Duran, Joss Stone, Bryan Ferry and Pharrell Williams are among the acts confirmed. The concert will take place on what would have been Diana's 46th birthday, the night before the 10th anniversary of her death.
Prince William said: "We both wanted to put our stamp on it. We want it to represent exactly what our mother would have wanted. So therefore the church service alone isn't enough. We wanted to have this big concert full of energy, full of the sort of fun and happiness, which I know she would have wanted."
It has even been suggested that Elton John may perform Candle In The Wind. The singer gave an emotional performance of the reworked song at Diana's funeral, but said he would never perform the song live again. It is still the biggest-selling single of all time.
Tickets for the Diana tribute concern go on sale at 0900 GMT today (Wednesday) and will be available from concertfordiana.com. |
