   Brian May convinces Em to come to London...

Eminem has been added to the line-up for former South Africa
President's Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday celebration at London's Hyde
Park after Queen rocker Brian May persuaded him to come out of
retirement.

A source said: 'Brian contacted Eminem's management but never expected
him to agree. It's going to be explosive stuff and it's certainly a big
stage to make his comeback.'

Meanwhile, Geri Halliwell has promised to give Mandela a special treat
for his 90th birthday. The Spice Girl – who is rumored to be headlining
the concert later this year with the rest of the band – wants to make
his celebrations extra special.

She said: 'I'll have to get in touch with him. Perhaps I'll send him a personal video message.'

Mandela was first introduced to the Spice Girls in 1997, during the
height of their fame, at his official presidential residence Mahlamba
Nalopfu, in Pretoria, South Africa. While Geri was there she famously
cuddled up to Mandela and told him he was "only as old as the girl you
feel – and I'm 25".
