With King Charles III’s coronation steadily creeping up, it seems his team is going into overdrive trying to get the details just right. While almost everything seems to be in order, it looks as though they’re having trouble getting people for the concert.
A bit ago, the British Royal Family was itching to get both Adele and Ed Sheeran to perform at King Charles III’s long-awaited coronation ceremony on May 7, but both declined the other due to reported scheduling conflicts. While it’s known that Sheeran will be performing in Texas that night, Adele doesn’t seem to have anything on that date. In fact, she has nothing publicly scheduled after her Las Vegas residency ends on March 25.
An insider told DailyMail, “The King has suggested a number of people he would like to perform and Adele and Ed were on that list. He was very keen that they were part of the concert.”
They added, “There is a team set up to get the talent signed up so they approached the two of them, but got replies saying that they were unavailable, which was a massive disappointment. They are titans of the showbiz industry and are quintessentially British but also known across the globe. It’s such a shame.”
Many believe this is a not-so-subtle diss to the King, and let’s just say, those supporters are not too happy. One Twitter user wrote, “How disrespectful,” and another angry fan wrote, “…To Ed and Adele-you just snubbed your nose at a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity–Lets boycott them.”
“They are titans of the showbiz industry and are quintessentially British but also known across the globe. It's such a shame,” the source stated.
The Shape Of You singer, 32, is scheduled to appear at a show in Texas the day before the Coronation gig.
Meanwhile, Adele, 34, has nothing publicly listed for May 7 as after March 25, her hit Las Vegas residency concerts will come to an end.
It is not yet known if award-winning singer Harry Styles will be part of the line-up, although it is understood the King wants him to take part.
She is currently performing her Las Vegas residency, Weekends With Adele, which have been sell-out hits.
But, these shows come to an end on March 25, with no public events listed in her May diary at the moment.
The Mail also claims the King would like Harry Styles – who is also in the midst of a world tour – to perform, adding that Lionel Richie is ‘close to agreeing’, as are the Spice Girls. It’s unknown whether Victoria Beckham has been involved in the supposed conversations.
