Mercedes-Benz helping to stage Mandela birthday gig
Mercedes-Benz is sponsoring the birthday party of one of the world’s most recognisable figures.
Nelson Mandela turns 90 this year and he will arrive in London in June to take part in a series of events that mark the occasion.
Joining him along the way will be a number of famous faces including Lewis Hamilton and the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team.
The celebrations will culminate in a three-hour concert in Hyde Park on June 27th with famous names such as Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown, Will Smith and Robert de Niro among the expected attendees.
The Sugababes, who are also performing a special concert for Mercedes-Benz at Brooklands, will be singing on the night.
Proceeds from the gig will go to the 46664 Aids campaign which raises awareness about the impact of the disease.
Mercedes-Benz is one of the leading companies to support the concert along with many others to ensure the gig goes ahead.
Mandela said: "I am going to London and they will host a concert in Hyde Park, which will raise awareness of our continuing work and much needed funds."
