Who's Who Of Rockers To Perform At Jubilee
A who's who of British and American musicians have reportedly signed on to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee in June, commemorating Queen Elizabeth II's 50th year on the British throne. Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Aretha Franklin, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Wonder will perform as part of an all-star pop concert set for the first weekend of June on the lawn outside London's Buckingham Palace. Longtime Beatles producer George Martin will be the musical director for the entire Jubilee, which will also include a classical concert and other events. The concerts are slated for broadcast by the BBC, while tickets will be distributed to the public via raffles. The Jubilee will conclude with the resumption of the Isle Of Wight Festival, Britain's Woodstock-style fete that ran from 1968 to 1970. -- Gary Graff, Detroit (launch.com)
