Beyonce Killed It at Global Citizen Festival Honoring Nelson Mandela – TMZ

Beyonce‘s brilliance continues sailing new heights … it’s the only way to describe her performance Sunday honoring the late Nelson Mandela.

The Queen brought the crowd to its feet and even triggered tears — presumably of joy — from thousands of fans who watched her perform at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

The event honored Mandela’s 100 years since the South African president’s birth. Jay-Z also headlined the event but no doubt the show belonged to his wife. You can see her jam out with Ed Sheeran … and the crowd — treated to the free concert — ate it up.

Before the event, Bey wrote a letter dedicated to Nelson saying, in part, “Your kindness and gratitude for every experience, and your ability to forgive are lessons I have learned and will pass on to my three children. My entire family holds you in high regard.”
