Prince is set to headline Live Earth. Organisers are desperate for the eccentric star to sign up to take part in the July 7 event, aimed at raising awareness of environmental issues.

Organiser Harvey Goldsmith said: "The act I really want to do the show is Prince. Here is a classic guy who is a genius. I was in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago and Prince has a club in a hotel called Rio. He played a set there at midnight and he was mind blowing. It will be great if we can get him."

Former US presidential candidate Al Gore is a key player in Live Earth - which is set to take place in venues across the world, including London, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro. Acts already confirmed to perform include Pharrell Williams, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snow Patrol and Snoop Dogg.
