On April 16, 1990, just two months after his release from 27 years in prison, Nelson Mandela was honored at the Nelson Mandela: An International Tribute for a Free South Africa concert held at Wembley Stadium in London. The event drew over 70,000 attendees and millions of global viewers, celebrating Mandela’s freedom and the growing global call to end apartheid. The concert featured performances by stars like Anita Baker, Natalie Cole, and Tracy Chapman, blending music with political solidarity. Mandela’s brief but powerful appearance on stage marked a historic moment in the cultural and political fight against racial injustice in South Africa.
