British singer Sir Elton John has hinted he could play a role as a royal wedding singer next year, reports thisislondon.co.uk.
A favourite of Prince William’s late mother, Diana – Princess of Wales, Sir John performed a special version of his song Candle in the Wind at her funeral, which went on to become the biggest selling single in UK history as it tapped into the nation’s grief.
Last week, Prince William and his girlfriend, Kate Middleton, announced their engagement and, this week, have set the date for their spring wedding on Friday, April 29 at Westminster Abbey.
Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed that April 29 would be a public holiday, so Britons can enjoy a four-day holiday over the May Day weekend.
When Radio 2 presenter Steve Wright asked Sir Elton whether he would perform at the wedding, he replied: "I probably am."
But he then quickly joked: "I’ll probably be busking outside." John’s latest and thirtieth studio album, The Union, was released last month, and is a collaboration with Leon Russell.
