| Coldplay's Chris Martin and Jay-Z |
Where the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony saw the
Spice Girls singing together again in years, the Paralympics will have Jay-Z,
Coldplay and Rihanna! A much cooler line-up we think. A source told the Daily
Mirror newspaper: "Jay-Z and Chris Martin are close friends so he helped
to get the rapper on board. They are putting together a spectacular set list -
one likely to include a duet. It's going to be one hell of a show and fans of
both artists will be trying to get tickets. The Paralympics has exceeded all
expectation and, like the rest of the world, Jay-Z has been blown away by their
bravery and athleticism. This will be a concert like no other and a fantastic
end to what has been the most successful Paralympics ever." Speaking
previously about the event, Chris said the band were "honoured" to
have been chosen. He explained: "Being asked to play at the closing
celebrations for the Paralympic athletes in London is such a great honour for
us. Kim Gavin and Misty Buckley are working hard to put on a spectacular
Paralympic Games Closing Ceremony for the athletes and spectators in the
stadium, and everyone watching around the world, and we are so happy to be
involved." As SABC2 in South Afrrica is the official broadcaster of the games, no word as yet if they will air the closing ceremony....
