I've always thought that Diana would have been a big fan of Andrea's. I hope he does take part in the concert.

I also feel that Diana would have been a fan of Andrea. I wonder if anyone knows for sure?
Fergie is certainly a fan and she would know..I will have to think of a way of asking her. We don't see each other much these days!

Andrea's participation now also is confirmed on his official site

[DueBaci]

here's a nice little interview between Harry and William about "The concert for their Mum".

____________________

" Harry: It’s the perfect opportunity and to celebrate her life with a concert with music and people just smiling and having fun, hopefully which is what they’re going be doing, waving their arms in the air ... like they just don’t care! (laughs)

William: I was just about to say that second bit!

Harry: I don’t think there’s any better way to celebrate her life really.

I didn't notice until now but there is a mention of the Andrew Lloyd Webber medley on his page on the official site of the concert.

MUSICA: BOCELLI UNICO ITALIANO PER CONCERTO IN OMAGGIO A LADY DIANA
Roma, 29 giu. - (Adnkronos) - "Faro' un percorso all'inverso perche' per me, in realta', Lajatico e' la partenza e Londra e' l'arrivo. Londra oggi e' la capitale economica del mondo. Cantero' in inglese, sto studiando ora il pezzo che e' molto bello, ma l'emozione piu' grande probabilmente la provero' al Teatro del Silenzio perche' sono nato e cresciuto a Lajatico e sara' bellissimo tornarci a cantare: un concerto unico e difficilmente ripetibile, di canzoni pop".

I wonder if Andrea would sing something from the Phantom of the Opera?!!! lol!

You guessed, Michele!

Bocelli sara' protagonista di un omaggio di Andrew Lloyd Webber: cantera' "Music of the night", brano tratto da "Phantom of the Opera".
