TAKE THAT TOP BILL AT DIANA TRIBUTE

TAKE That will top a sensational line-up of stars at this summer's tribute to Princess Diana.

All the performers for the sellout event have been approved by Princes William and Harry.

They include James Blunt, hip hop megastar Kanye West, Keane, James Morrison, Rod Stewart and Bryan Adams.

William said: "We want it to represent exactly what our mother would have wanted.

"We wanted this big concert full of energy - full of fun and happiness."
Last night, an insider said: "They have put an immense amount of effort into the concert.

"They've personally selected acts they knew their mother loved in her lifetime and some newer ones they felt she'd have appreciated."

Take That offered their services when they heard what the princes were planning.

Mark Owen said: "Diana was such an amazing woman. I think it's lovely they want to do something to remember her."

Orson and Meat Loaf will also join previously announced stars Elton John, Joss Stone, Bryan Ferry, Duran Duran, Pharrell Williams, Andrew Lloyd Webber and the English National Ballet for the event on July 1.

The day would have been Diana's 46th birthday.

Organisers are even trying to get one of her favourite bands - Dire Straits - and the Spice Girls to reunite for the show.

Robbie Williams and George Michael, who attended her funeral, have also been invited.

A crowd of 90,000 will pack the new Wembley Stadium for the show. Millions will watch as it is broadcast live on BBC1.

Tickets sold out within 20 minutes of being made available in December.

Cash raised will go to the Diana Memorial Fund and other charities.
