Essien & Drogba - Sing Live?!

I received this yesterday: Superstar Chelsea footballers Michael Essien and Didier Drogba will be performing their new anti-racism charity single 'Skins' live on stage this Wednesday 7/11/07 with Wills and the Willing at XXXXXXX in Soho.

The doors open at 7:00PM and a number of players from both Chelsea and Arsenal who are coming down to lend their support.

Wills and the Willing will then take to the stage with Michael and Didier at 8:15.

An aftershow party is also taking place at Chinawhite with 15% of proceeds from the night's take going to Chelsea's charity CLIC Sargent.

This is highly weird but Drogba's always guest of honour at the annual BBC World Music Awards, and is an ambassador for African music, and especially the Ivory Coast where he is the most famous person in the country and even has a style of dressing named after him, 'drogbacite'. Apparently it's tradition in the Chelsea dressing room for new players to sing a song as a fraternity initiation type thing (it could be worse), so maybe this came out of that.
