Multiple big names like Adele and Ed Sheeran turned down performance opportunities due to prior commitments.
However, the coronation organizers got a “yes” from Lionel Richie and Katy Perry.
Perry is no stranger to the British royals.

In 2020, King Charles III appointed her as an ambassador for the British Asian Trust.
At the coronation, Perry performed “Roar” and “Firework” at the concert.
