However, all the above artists declined the offer to perform at King Charles’ coronation concert. The Dunkirk star has also recently turned down the offer due to his busy schedule.
Harry Styles is currently on a world tour with his Love On show. He is currently performing his Love On show in Australia. Not just Hollywood A-listers, the Duke and Duchess, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have also not yet confirmed if they will be attending the coronation ceremony.
The drama between the Royal family and the Duke and Duchess has been boiling since the couple stepped down from their royal duties. Things reportedly have not been well since the release of their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, and Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare.

Which Artists Will Light Up the Coronation Concert?
According to The Sun, Elton John was on top of King Charles’ list, but the British singer had to decline the offer due to his European tour. Girl group, Spice Girl, was reportedly confirmed to perform at the event till last month.
However, they have also withdrawn from performing at the event. The organizers are reportedly “working against the clock to pull together an exciting lineup but have hit a series of challenges.” An insider claimed,
“The biggest names and acts in world music are being approached for the concert. If you draw up a list of the most popular acts in the world over the past 30 years, then they are all being considered.”
Some artists have agreed to light up the coronation concert, including the boy band, Take That and Kylie Minogue & Dannii Minogue. The boy band is also rumored to be headlining the event, as they have been a royal favorite since they performed at a 2007 concert for the late Princess Diana. American singer Lionel Richie is also expected to perform at the event. More acts are expected to be revealed in the upcoming days.
