Former Eurythmics star Annie Lennox performed in London this week to raise funds and awareness for mothers2mothers and the work the charity does supports HIV transmission from mother to child.
Annie performed a 10-song set of her solo work and Eurythmics greatest hits.
The event raised over £300,000 ($500,000) for the charity including £40,000 raised for an Annie Lennox single hand-written lyric of ‘Sweet Dreams”. Bono, Chris Martin and Sting also supplied hand-written lyrics for the auction.
