Alicia Keys painted London town black in celebration of the 3rd annual Keep a Child Alive Black Ball. The event was held at London’s Camden Roundhouse, the soulful singer walked the red carpet with hubby Swizz Beats in a strapless black feather dress. The stars arrived at the ball paying £1,500 for a individual ticket and £20,000 for platinum gala table for 10 people. Stars turned up in the sharpest suits and quirkiest of dresses. Mark Ronson was on the decks and provided the music for the night. However, the main act for the night, George Micheal pulled out at last minute due to an illness. He tweeted
'Hi boyz n girls....bad news im afraid... This tooth ain't getting better in time for tonight, not enough to sing anyway..... :(.'
The event was for a great cause, to raise money and awareness to provide treatment for families affected by HIV and AIDS in India and Africa. The Grammy Award Winner spoke in an interview on the red carpet 'The people here get involved, they feel it passionately and they are about it. Everybody who's here tonight are incredible to me, and I'm really so proud of them for giving their time like this.' She added 'It's such an important thing for me to do this work, and for us to have a voice for the voiceless, so many people out there are having to head their households, and they're a child. Imagine having to raise your brothers and sisters and having to worry about putting food on the table.'
