A 19-YEAR-OLD blind singer will perform in front of 6,000 people at the Albert Hall in London. Andrew Coleman had narrowly missed out on the final stages of the ITV programme Popstars: The Rivals.
Now, though, the teenager from Knowsley Village will be sharing the stage with Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall and Alison Moyet at the special performance on December 8.
Refugee Voices for Darfur is a United Nations refugee agency fundraising concert for the victims of Sudan.
The performance will be released as a CD and DVD at a later date.
Among the musicians taking part are singer-songwriter David Gray, lead singer of the Pretenders, Chrissie Hynde and disco diva Jocelyn Brown.
The artists will be joined by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, and Mercury Music Prize winners Franz Ferdinand will send a live video and message of support.
Although most of the artists will be performing the music of Cole Porter, Mr Coleman will be singing a song he wrote himself.
When people from the UN heard the track, they asked him to perform it.
