King Charles asked Adele and Ed Sheeran to perform at his coronation concert in May, but they said no.
Reports say that King Charles invited Adele and Ed Sheeran to perform at his upcoming coronation in May. The king suggested that the two award-winning singers perform at his coronation concert. Adele doesn’t have any shows after March, but Ed’s schedule is said to be hard to work with.
On May 6, 2023, King Charles III and his wife Camilla will be crowned as the King and Queen of the United Kingdom at Westminster Abbey. On May 7, 2023, there will be a special performance as part of the celebration. Charles became king when his mother, Elizabeth II, died on September 8, 2022.
According to an online article in OK magazine
King Charles was excited to see Adele and Ed perform. A source says, “The King’s list of performers he’d like to see included Adele and Ed, among other names. He wanted them to be part of the concert.”
The insider said, “A team was put together to sign the talent, so they went up to the two of them. But the answers they got said they were not available, which was a huge letdown. They are giants in the entertainment business, very British, and well-known all over the world. It’s too bad.”
Ed Sheeran, who is best known for his hit song “The Shape of You,” may not be able to come on May 6 because of a conflict in his schedule. Ed is now in Sydney, Australia, on his tour around the world.
After March 25, Adele is not expected to perform again this year. She will be performing in Las Vegas as part of the limited-edition Weekends With Adele concert series, which runs through March. She just won the award for best pop solo performance for the song “Easy on Me” at the 65th Grammy Awards.
There are also rumors that the Spice Girls, Lionel Richie, and pop musician Harry Styles will be on the show. Some of the artists haven’t heard anything official from Buckingham Palace.
Prince Harry, who is King Charles’s son, hasn’t said yet if he will go to the coronation or not. Harry and his wife Meghan Markle stopped doing their royal duties in 2020. In December 2017, they made a special Netflix docuseries called Harry & Meghan, in which they talked about how they broke away from the rest of the royal family. Harry’s autobiography, The Spare, which came out in January, also had some interesting things to say about the royal family.
