Madonna turns down Diana concert

Madonna has turned down the opportunity to perform at the Diana Memorial concert due to prior commitments.

The pop icon was reportedly approached by Andrew Lloyd Webber to perform on stage in her famous role as Eva Peron.

She was however forced reject the offer because of her scheduled rehearsals for the Live Earth concert.

The memorial concert, which marks the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana's death, is being held on July 1 - what would have been Diana's 46th birthday.

A source told the Mirror, "Live Earth approached Madonna first and she is committed to performing there. It would be extremely hard to rehearse for both gigs at the same time and she wouldn't want to give less than a 100 per cent to either.

"Andrew Lloyd Webber was very understanding when she felt she had to say no."
