HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Diabetes-free Amitabh Bachchan set to rock London tonight24th Aug 2008 14.00 IST By Agencies Pepped up by a clean chit for diabetes, Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to shake a leg at the star-studded 'Unforgettable' concert in London tonight. Hours before the concert at the O2 arena in Docklands, Bachchan inaugurated the Silver Star Appeal charity organisation in Leicester and underwent a test for diabetes. 
He was declared free of the hazard, much to the delight of fans, including Keith Vaz, Labour MP, who started the construction of the organisation in 2007. Maintaining that the Indian film industry had always come forward to support the cause of health awareness, Bachchan said, "If a face and a voice can help spread the message, then I’m more than happy to be that face and voice." Bachchan, who was awarded a doctorate by the De Montfort University in Leicester in 2006, charmed one and all with his famous baritone and characteristic modesty as he made a quick visit to the multicultural town in a helicopter. Diabetes is quite prevalent in Leicester, which has a large Indian population. Vaz was unaware he had Type 2 diabetes until he visited an assessment centre in 2004. The Unforgettable tour marks Bachchans comeback to the stage after a gap of almost 20 years. The first leg of the tour included prominent cities in the USA and Canada, Trinidad and Tobago. The concert regulars the Big B, Abhishek Bachchan , Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh and Preity Zinta will be joined by Bollywood hottie Shilpa Shetty for the London leg of the tour.
