Singer still recovering from stomach operation
Monday, 23 June 2008
Dame Shirley Bassey will not perform at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert this Friday.
The veteran singer is still recovering from the stomach operation she had last month.
Doctors have told Dame Shirley, 71, not to travel to London’s Hyde Park from her home in Monaco for the gig.
‘The Dame is hugely disappointed and was looking forward to the show immensely,’ spokesman Paul Carey tells the BBC.
‘On the advice of her surgeon, Dame Shirley Bassey will now not be able to perform as scheduled at the Nelson Mandela 46664 concert.
'Dame Shirley has been advised not to travel at the present time, so as to aid her continued full recovery following surgery last month.’
Amy Winehouse, who is undergoing medical treatment for emphysema, is still expected to sing at the gig.
