Paul to sing Here Comes the Sun at Queen's Jubilee
jen
Guitarist Brian May will open the Queen's Jubilee concert by playing
the National Anthem on the roof of Buckingham Palace.
Fellow members of the band Queen, along with singer Phil Collins and a
full orchestra will then join in from a plastic stage in the palace
gardens below.
The roof-top vantage point was chosen to provide a dramatic start to
the open-air concert, which takes place on 3 June.
The event will be screened live by the BBC and broadcast around the
world.
Organisers of the Ł4m extravaganza had been searching for an unusual
way of performing God Save the Queen.
"We wanted to make it spectacular," a Jubilee spokesman said. "This
achieves that aim."
Beatle tribute
When Queen's performance is finished, comedian Lenny Henry will
introduce Latino singer Ricky Martin, who will entertain the crowds
with his number one hit Livin' La Vida Loca.
In addition to celebrating the Queen's 50 years of rule, the concert
also salutes the life of the late George Harrison.
Sir Paul McCartney and guitarist Eric Clapton will perform Harrison's
Here Comes the Sun.
Other performers on the bill include Ozzy Osbourne, Canadian singer
Brian Adams and Pop Idol winner Will Young.
"Trying to appeal to all ages is the basic thing behind it all," the
spokesman said. "This is a celebration for everybody."
The concert's grand finale will be a rendition of the Beatles' All You
Need Is Love, led by Sir Paul McCartney.

well if you can't do it on the Apple building on Saville Row, I guess the
top of Buckingham Palace will have to do.

I admit that'll be rather cool.
Best British guitarist alongside Clapton.

Ah, my favourite track. Have I mentioned it's my favourite track?
It's my favourite track. Just to ensure you all know ;)
Seriously though, if it's (Obviously) not to be the man himself to play it,
I can think of no better guitarist than Clapton to do the track justice.
I wonder who'll actually sing it.
Funnily enough I was thinking of giving this whole jubilee malarky a wide
berth, but I think not now...

Well that'll give the concert *so* much more credit (!)

<>The Concert will be a Great honour to perform at, And A great event
for the English Speaking World. It will be broadcast Live Via
Satellite, much like the BEATLES original Test Run of "All You Need Is
Love". I was under the Impression, "MULL OF KINTYRE" Was going to be
Performed by Paul, because its a Great Sing along song, that Even The
Royals would be happy, to be see singing along with. Factor in those
"PIPES of SCOTLAND", and you've got a Incredible Commonwealth Recipe
Of Support.Bring your KILTS!
