The Hollywood actor and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith have agreed to front the
star-studded event in London’s Hyde Park on June 27 after being asked by the
iconic former South African leader.
As well as recognizing the landmark date, the event will raise money for
46664, Mandela’s AIDS charity.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Will Smith is a big fan of
Nelson and wanted to help out. Nelson is so inspirational and so many
artists want to be involved. Razorlight, Keane, Queen and Annie Lennox are
definites. U2, the Spice Girls and Sir Paul McCartney could join them and
Eminem’s up for it too.
“We think it will be Nelson Mandela’s last international public appearance,
which will make it even more special.”
