Lily Allen will perform at this summer's Concert For Diana.
The 21-year-old singer has signed up for the tribute to the late Princess Diana at London's new Wembley Stadium on July 1.
Sir Elton John is set to host the special night, which will include performances from Joss Stone, Pharrell Williams, Rod Stewart, Bryan Ferry and Duran Duran - who were one of Diana's favourite bands.
It is not known whether Elton will perform the changed version of 'Candle in the Wind', which he sang at Diana's funeral in 1997.
The eclectic line-up also features The English Ballet, renowned composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and US hip-hop artist Kanye West.
Natasha Bedingfield was also added to the bill this morning (26.04.07), along with Status Quo, Orson, The Feeling and James Morrison.
It has still not known whether band Take That will perform on the night.
Organisers are reportedly trying to convince Dire Straits - another of Diana's favourite acts - to appear, while the Spice Girls are also rumoured to be reuniting for the concert.
Diana's sons Princes William and Harry have personally approved all the acts for the show - which takes place on what would have been their mother's 46th birthday.
