Footballer Drogba to take to stage

Chelsea footballer Didier Drogba is to perform at the Royal Albert Hall, say reports.

The Ivory Coast striker will be singing as part of the Football Reaching Out For Africa concert, which is aiming to raise awareness of the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa.

Held on September 23, the event is being organised by the Support For Africa charity and will also feature '70s legends Boney M on the lineup.

A venue insider told The Sun: "Didier Drogba has definitely agreed to sing. It shows real guts that he's prepared to do it."
