Amy Winehouse is set to perform at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert in London next month.
The former President of South Africa and winner of the Nobel Peace prize will be honored in London's Hyde Park, by:
yep... One of the most honorable dudes being serenaded by Wino.
The gig will take place on June 27. Leona Lewis, Razorlight, Eminem, Duffy, Keane, Sugababes and Jamelia are also set to appear on the bill.
Around 45,000 tickets for the show, priced from £65, will be sold using a Glastonbury-style online registration system which opens for a week from tomorrow (April 29), reports The Sun.

OK sure. We were all young once and every last one of us made some stupid decisions, but were wern't asked to sing for Nelson Mandela in the midst of it all.
this saga just keeps getting juicer and juicer
My Trusted MOGs
How I hope and wish Amy will manage to sort herself out, get herself clean and healthy, such a shame to see her go to waste.
My Trusted MOGs
Another story of too young and too much money.
My Trusted MOGs
Possibly, but then perhaps her family should be listened to and followed in their request for Amy not to be booked for any albums, gigs, appearances or anything and not to be given any media attention until she sorts herself out?
My Trusted MOGs
the media make it a whole lot worse but I have to draw a line somewhere and Amy is way over that line, I suppose you have to ask yourself what would happen to you if you carried on like that, over in NZ you would most likely get "the bash" Ive seen a reasonably well known muso get a couple of decent wacks at a bikers bar and it quietened him down for sure. Im not saying its the answer but
My Trusted MOGs
For sure. I can only hope that an old dog would put me down if I was acting the fool
My Trusted MOGs
oh Sturg, that photo is just mean. but, then again, we'll see if she actually cleans up her act or not.
My Trusted MOGs
Yuck
My Trusted MOGs
damn, she looks like shit there.
My Trusted MOGs
when doesn't she?!
My Trusted MOGs
OK, someone's decided to honor a black African world leader by selecting two white individuals (Winehouse and Eminem) to perform quintessentially African-American musical idioms of jazz and rap. Not to mention the rest of the rather un-diverse lineup. Interesting...
My Trusted MOGs
The question in my mind is: who is more likely to die before the event?
My Trusted MOGs
Hey Sturgell..do you know if Jerry Dammers is playing?..he should have been invited.
My Trusted MOGs
CTS- Nope, I don't think Jerry's making it.
My Trusted MOGs
First, I hope that they allow smoking, so Amy can do the "Human Ashtray" trick for Nelson...I'd think, that being a champion of freedom, he'd enjoy how Wino is using her freedoms.
Second, I still say Amy's only crime is being a girl. If this was Ozzy, Johnny Rotten, Lars Ulrich, Lemmy, or any number of musical "Badasses", her behaviour would be chalked up to "Rock N' Roll Attitude". As a girl, she gets labeled as an out of control crazy woman!!!
And seriously...we need to save "Crazy" for those who really are, like Britney and Courtney Love.
