Mandela concert cancelled
A fund-raising concert to celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela featuring performances from Bono, Coldplay and Elton John has been called off.
The show was to have taken place at Mandela's former prison, Robben Island, in South Africa in a fortnight.
But organisers were left reeling when one of the major sponsors pulled out and they were with too little time to find a replacement.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation, which was overseeing the show, has now decided to pull the plug on the February 2 show.
