The list continues to grow of stars who have declined to perform at the coronation of King Charles this May. Among those artists who have turned the once and future King down include fellow Brits Adele, Harry Styles, and Elton John.
“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,” said publicist Simon Jones. The Royal Family is currently the target of many allegations from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle including racism and abuse.
And while most of the celebrities have declined to state the true reasoning for their refusals, an insider for Elton John has blamed his on “scheduling issues.”
