CONCERT FOR DIANA
Monday, July 2 at 8.30pm

Prince William and Prince Harry will mark the 10th anniversary of their mother’s death with an historic event to celebrate her life: the Concert for Diana on July 1, which would have been the princess’s 46th
birthday.

Concert for Diana, one of the first events to take place in London’s new Wembley Stadium, will showcase a stellar line-up of internationally acclaimed artists including Elton John, Rod Stewart, Bryan Ferry, Joss Stone, Duran Duran, Lily Allen, Kanye West, Nelly Furtado, P. Diddy, Natasha Bedingfield, Tom Jones, Will Young, Fergie, The Feeling, James Morrison, Orson, Status Quo, Pharrell Williams, Roger Hodgson of Supertramp, and Take That. The star-studded bill reflects the favourite artists of Diana, William and Harry.

In recognition of Diana’s love of ballet and musicals, the concert will also include a performance by the English National Ballet and a medley created especially by Andrew Lloyd Weber with special appearances by Anastacia, Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman, Donny Osmond and Jason Donovan.

Following the announcement of the princes’ plans for a commemoration of their mother’s life, Prince William said: “We both wanted to put our stamp on it. We want it to represent exactly what our mother would have wanted. 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. And on her birthday as well, it’s got to be the best birthday present she ever had.”

Nine’s chief entertainment editor, Richard Wilkins, will anchor Nine’s telecast of the event and interview the main talent for the Today show and A Current Affair in the lead up. Concert for Diana will be broadcast to hundreds of millions of viewers around the world in over 140 countries. Proceeds from the concert will go to a number of charities that were supported by the princess, and to two of the princes’ own charities, Centrepoint and Sentebale.
