Stevie's 60th birthday festival gig

Music legend Stevie Wonder has been confirmed as the final headliner at the Hard Rock Calling festival, to be held this summer in London.

The Hyde Park event - scheduled for June 26 - will also celebrate the American singer-songwriter's six decades on earth, as he turns 60 on May 13 this year.

As many as 50,000 fans are expected to wish Stevie the best by singing 'Happy Birthday'.

The 22-time Grammy winner will be joined by Jamiroquai, James Morrison, and Corinne Bailey Rae to headline the event.

Selling over 35 million albums worldwide, jazz funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai has become one of the UK's biggest musical exports. Singer Jay Kay will take to the Hard Rock Calling stage citing Stevie Wonder as his musical hero.

He has been expected to perform a special blend of pop, rock and electronica at the Hard Rock Calling festival.

Meanwhile, BRIT Award-winning singer-songwriter James Morrison will come back to the show for the second consecutive year.

Commenting on Stevie, James said: "Stevie Wonder is one of those rare artists who only come along once in a lifetime and who many will try to emulate and imitate but will never better. His vocal style, his melodies and his amazing musicianship cross all boundaries."
