Sharon Stone, Kevin Spacey to host Gorbachev charity concert
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev is celebrating his 80th party with a black-tie charity concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
The event will be attended by Mr Gorbachev's family and the great and the good from around the world.
Sharon Stone and Kevin Spacey are acting as hosts for the evening.
Gorbachev Special Achievement Awards will be presented for outstanding contribution in various categories and proceeds from the evening will be shared between the Gorbachev Foundation and Macmillan Cancer Support.
The evening is the last of several over the past six months celebrating the former Soviet President's 80th year - his actual birthday was March 2nd.
The fund-raising events are aimed at raising £5m for the charities, Sky News reported.
