Pop star Lionel Richie preparing to perform for King Charles' May 6 coronation...
From People
Lionel Richie is gearing up for the performance of a lifetime.
The singer, 73, is less than two weeks from performing at the Coronation Concert of King Charles on May 7.
"I'm walking in history," Richie told Extra of the invitation to perform at the event, which will be broadcast live from Windsor Castle the day after King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, are crowned at Westminster Abbey.
"I've known King Charles for a while," Richie, who is an ambassador for the King's charity, said. "You never think [that will] translate into a tight 1,800 that will be present, and he calls and says, 'I want you there.' The answer is, 'I'm there. I'm there.' I'm walking in history. This is a moment that he gets to shine. I am very happy for him and the Queen."
The "All Night Long" singer was coy about what his performance will look like.
"I must tell you I can't say a word — it's a royal secret," he shared with the outlet. "They told me, 'Don't reveal.' But I would tell everybody if I could… I am trying my best to contain myself, but it's going to be one in a million times in history to be part of something like this."
