WEST BREAKS CONCERT FOR DIANA'S 'NO SWEARING' POLICY

Rapper KANYE WEST broke the 'no swearing' policy at the Concert For Diana on Sunday (01Jul07), when he performed his hit single TOUCH THE SKY.

The Concert For Diana - which celebrated what would have been Diana, Princess of Wales' 46th birthday - has so far seen acts including Duran Duran, Status Quo, Nelly Furtado and Rod Stewart take to the stage to wow the 63,000 fans at London's Wembley Stadium.

But the hip-hop star accidentally let slip when he performed Touch The Sky, which he dedicated to Diana, breaking the unspoken rule which most artists - including rapper Pharrell Williams - had noted out of respect to the late British royal and the young princes, William and Harry.

West rapped, "Back when they thought pink polo's would hurt the Roc/Before Cam got the sh*t to pop, the doors was closed..."

West's DJ A-Trak also let the backing track for Jesus Walks continue as the rapper brought his seven-minute set to an end, letting the word 'n*gger' repeat twice over the stadium's sound system before it was faded out.
