Adele, Harry Styles, Elton John, Robbie Williams and the Spice Girls are reportedly among the artists who have turned down invitations to take the stage.
Artists including Adele, Elton John and Harry Styles have reportedly turned down an opportunity to perform at King Charles III’s upcoming coronation.
The Spice Girls and Robbie Williams are among the other acts who have declined invitations to put on a show at the momentous ceremony,While most of the musicians declined to explain why they would not take the stage, a rep for John confirmed to the magazine that the legendary Piano Man, 75, had been asked but could not attend due to scheduling issues.Experts believe no one wants to perform because they therefore would be associated with the scandal-scarred monarchy.
Several musicians have reportedly declined to perform at King Charles III’s coronation ceremony in May.“The royal family has faced a number of PR disasters in recent times, and anyone performing at the show would have to consider whether there would be a backlash from appearing amongst their fans,” Simon Jones, a publicist for Little Mix, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, told Rolling Stone in the article.Adele is among those who turned down an invitation.
Meg added, “With [Queen Elizabeth II], she was fab and glamorous to some people. Charles doesn’t add anything — there’s not a legacy of his that anyone would want to align with. It’s televised, so a lot of people will hear your songs, sure, but in terms of long-term PR strategy, I don’t know if performing would add positively to an artist’s narrative unless they were staunchly pro the monarchy.
