All important confirmations for an event that already promises to be unforgettable. Not everyone, however, gladly accepted the invitation from Buckingham Palace. He said “no” Elton John, who was a great friend of Princess Diana. The refusal is linked to the tight dates of his tour: on Friday 5 May he will sing in Germany and the two dates would have been too close.
