Akon is to perform at the Sheridan Suite in Oldham Road on Tuesday with support act Pisees, a Manchester rapper who was a friend of 18-year-old aspiring pop star Kesha.

Pisees said he had adapted his act with Akon to pay tribute to Kesha. Akon will make a personal trip to Moss Side's Powerhouse centre on Monday.
