Pop music royalty like Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin will be there. So will current day stars like Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah, Wyclef Jean and Will.i.am. Whoopi Goldberg will host. Others on the bill include Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the first lady of France, Josh Groban,Angelique Kidjo,Gloria Gaynor and the Soweto Gospel Choir. Mandela is not expected to attend.

  1. Why would they put on such a big production if he isn't coming? He should at least make the effort to come. It sounds like a good show.
