King Charles Coronation Has Lionel Richie, Take That, Orchestras, and Plenty of Other Choices Besides Elton, Adele, or Harry

Share

I’m getting a chuckle out of these stories marked “No One Wants to Play at King Charles’s Coronation.”

Really? They’ve got Lionel Richie, Take That, Kylie and Danii Minoque, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and a bunch of orchestras.

The UK press circulated that Elton John, Adele, Harry Styles, and the Spice Girls all declined. Are the Spice Girls even in business? Elton was a friend of Princess Diana, I doubt he’d do this gig. Adele is aligned with Meghan and Harry. Harry Styles is on tour.

The Palace has lots of other options. Where are UK standbys Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones? Did anyone ask Paul McCartney or Mick Jagger? How about Sting? There’s a pool of British rock stars who haven’t been mentioned. So everyone should get a grip. I’m sure the Coronation will be full of entertainment!
