Josh in Africa

Last month, I posted my suspicion that Josh would be part of Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebration.

Now, Project 46664, the official site for the event, has confirmed that Josh has joined the list of performers at the concert, to be held at London’s Hyde Park on Friday, 27 June.

Tickets are still available for the event and can be purchased via 46664 Tickets.

In a recent interview with Central Florida News, Josh comments:

We are all so honored to be there for him, and it is really going to be a fun concert…Yes, anything with Mandela, there are always undertones with the phenomenal charity work that he’s doing, and I am sure this concert will be benefiting his foundation. My fans have raised a lot of money for him. They have raised over $2 million for my foundation. It is something that I hold very near and dear to my heart, and is something that is kind of my favorite hobby, is working on my charity.

Josh also chats with Classic FM about this event and his thoughts on UK audiences.
