Lionel Richie who was scheduled to close off St.Lucia Jazz 2012 is no longer on the line up.
The superstar has cancelled his appearance citing his unavailability in order to pursue other professional opportunities, the timing of which clashes with the dates of Saint Lucia Jazz. Richie’s cancellation of his appearance in Saint Lucia on May 13th is one of 15 others during the month of May. The Tourist Board says the artiste remains very apologetic regarding this cancellation and is working with Saint Lucia to manage the public relations surrounding this.
Officials wasting no time have confirmed
Diana Ross and Toni Braxton to fill the spot.
Diana Ross has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and is the recipient of the 2012 Grammy Awards, Lifetime Achievement Award. She garnered fame as the lead singer of the legendary Motown group ‘The Supremes’ during the 1960s. Ross began a solo career in the 1970s that has included successful ventures into film and Broadway. Billboard magazine has named her the "Female Entertainer of the Century and in 1993, the Guinness Book of World Records declared Diana Ross the most successful female music artist in history due to her success in the United States and United Kingdom for having more hits than any female artiste on the charts with a career total of 18 number one records in the United States.
Toni Braxton has sold over 40 million records worldwide, won seven American Music Awards and five Billboard Music Awards.
This soulful R&B artiste first topped the Billboard 200 with her 1993 self-titled debut album and continued that streak with her second studio album Secrets, which spawned the number-one hits "You're Makin' Me High" and "Un-Break My Heart". In 2009, Braxton returned to the spotlight with "Yesterday", a #12 R&B hit which serves as the first single off her new album Pulse, released on May 4, 2010, which debuted at #1 on Billboard R&B Album Chart.
