Stars come out in midnight sun

Chicago Tribune - June 13, 2005


TROMSOE, Norway - Nelson Mandela teamed with dozens of music-world stars over the weekend to urge the richest nations to take increased action against AIDS and poverty.

"Let every child be a healthy child," Mandela told a crowd of almost 18,000 at a benefit concert held under the midnight sun in Norway's Arctic. "We now need leadership, vision and political courage."

The 46664 Arctic Concert, named for Mandela's prisoner number during his South African detention, is part of a series of AIDS charity concerts that have featured Peter Gabriel, Annie Lennox, Robert Plant, Brian May and Angelique Kidjo.
