Amy Winehouse has returned to the stage for the first time since she was diagnosed with traces of the lung disease emphysema.
The singer was among a host of stars who performed in London’s Hyde Park yesterday (June 27th) to mark the 90th birthday of Nelson Mandela.
In addition to a short set – which included ‘Rehab’ and her cover of The Zutons’ ‘Valerie’ – Winehouse took centre stage during the finale, which saw the day’s performers unite to sing the protest song ‘Free Nelson Mandela’.

As well as celebrating Mr Mandela’s birthday, the concert also raised money for his 46664 aids charity.

Addressing the crowd, Mr Mandela said: "Even as we celebrate, let us remind ourselves that our work is far from complete - our work is for freedom for all."
Other performances yesterday came from Razorlight – who used their set to send a political message to Zimbabwe – Queen and Annie Lennox.
