Leona Lewis To Switch On Christmas Lights
Leona Lewis will be switching on Oxford Street Christmas lights on 7th November. The singer, who is currently top of the UK singles charts, having outsold the rest of the top five put together, will turn on the central London illuminations at a switching on ceremony. Westlife and the cast of the West End Production of Mary Poppins will also perform.
"For nine weeks the dazzling canopy of chandeliers will stretch suspended above the heads of shoppers as they zip in and out of the 300 shops lining Oxford Street," said Jace Tyrell from The New West End Company who organises the illuminations.
The lights are this year using LED bulbs, which use 75% less energy than conventional bulbs.
Earlier in the week, 218,000 copies of Leona's Bleeding Love single were sold, giving Leona her second number one single.
"The sales are incredible," said Simon Cowell of Leona's achievement. "I'm absolutely thrilled for Leona, she thoroughly deserves it."
In other Leona Lewis news, it is rumoured that UEG Music, a company who say they've spent a lot of money training Leona, is planning to sell an album of Leona's demo songs called The Best Kept Secret soon after her Spirit debut album is released.
However, Leona's representative has apparently said that UEG don't have the rights to release the material. Ultimately the release looks likely to be blocked.
