Watch your back Glastonbury, because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding day is shaping up to a biggest U.K. music event of 2018. Here’s a lineup of the wedding singers rumoured to perform at the royal reception, and the songs we think they should have on their setlist.
HOW WE KNOW: Leave it to Mel B to spill the (British style) beans. During an appearance on The Real, Scary Space shared that all “five Spice Girls” (Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisolm, and herself) were invited to the wedding -- confirming that she had RSVP’d yes.
Then came the very important question: Will the Spice Girls be performing? Mel looked down and threw her talking cards in the air in defeat. The audience screamed -- this is basically a yes, right? “I need to go. I’m gonna be fired,” Mel B said, realizing she’d already shared too much.
WHAT THEY SHOULD PERFORM:
“Wannabe”
“2 Becomes 1”
“Spice Up Your Life”
HOW WE KNOW: In early February, it was announced that the 70-year-old singer was rescheduling two performances of The Million Dollar Piano in Las Vegas: one on May 18, and one on May 19. These dates just so happen to fall on the weekend of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding.
It would, of course, make sense for the “Tiny Dancer” singer to attend the nuptials: John was close friends with Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, and has previously spoken out about how wonderful it’s been to see Harry “totally in love” with his princess-to-be.
WHAT HE SHOULD PERFORM:
“Your Song”
“Can You Feel the Love Tonight”
“Tiny Dancer”
HOW WE KNOW: “Prince Harry has personally requested Ed perform at his wedding,” a source told US Weekly. The fellow British red-head is buddies with Harry’s cousin, Princess Beatrice, and when Sheeran was asked about the possibility of a royal wedding performance last year, he said: “Yeah, why not?"
WHAT HE SHOULD PERFORM:
“Castle on the Hill”
“Thinking Out Loud”
“Perfect”
