Date: Jun 28, 2001 Source: The Sun, UK Submitted By: Donna Madonna is to top the bill at a huge Live Aid-style pop concert - 16 years after "Sir" Bob Geldof's original charity blockbuster. Robbie Williams is set to join her at the gig to raise millions for children with Aids. It is planned for October 20 at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and this time there will be a theme - the "Great British Musical." All those taking part in 2001: A Musical Odyssey will perform stage and screen hits to the strains of the BBC Philharmonic orchestra. Former Ultravox singer Midge Ure, 47, who co-hosted Live Aid with Geldof at Wembley in 1985, has been recruited by the Red Hot Aids Charitable Trust to help co-ordinate the event. He said: "I hope to get Robbie Williams doing something from Les Miserables." Others expected to perform for free include the Bee Gees, George Michael, S Club 7, THE BACKSTREET BOYS, Debbie Harry and Barry Manilow. The concert will be screened by the BBC. A source said: "Every artist will do two or three songs from a musical, from Showboat to Rent." "Madonna will probably sing two songs from Evita, while the Bee Gees will do stuff from Saturday Night Fever." Comment on this item.
