He joins a host of other stars scheduled to take part in the night including Mark Ronson, Tinie Tempah and Paloma Faith.
Speaking of the addition, Alicia Keys said: “I’ve been a fan of George Michael for as long I can remember. He is a legend and an inspiration. His work raising awareness and funds for those suffering with the HIV virus has spanned three decades. I’m honoured that George has lent his voice to our KCA cause and I’m so excited that he’s singing for us at the Black Ball in London. It’s going to be an amazing night!”
The Ball aims to celebrate the work of the KCA as well as raise money for the support of people affected by HIV and AIDS in Africa and India.

Alicia Keys’ controversial Twitter – death charity campaign has got off to an extremely slow start.
The singer recruited her famous celebrity friends including Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake and Kim Kardashian to give up their digital lives until $1 million was raised for her charity “Keep A Child Alive”.
Sadly, after a huge global launch, and one day into the campaign, the figure raised stands at a lowly $160,000.
At that rate, it looks like the celebs will be kept off Twitter for a long time to come…
