Osama Bin Laden's niece to play London gig

Osama Bin Laden's niece to play London gig

Osama Bin Laden's niece Wafah Dufour is set to play a rare London gig with her band tonight (March 19).

The singer - who Black Lips want to collaborate with - will play east London's Old Blue Last with her band Dufour.

Her last London gig, set to take place on February 26 at the Bullet Bar, was cancelled after the singer's new management company told her to pull all live commitments.

Although Dufour is related to Bin Laden, she was ostracised from the Saudi dynasty as a child after her mother fled the Middle East to preserve her daughters' rights to free thought.

Dufour, who is also a model, has lived in New York for most of her life. She is currently recording her debut album.
