The Sun, John was at the top of Charles’ list, but due to his European tour schedule, which sees him performing in Germany the Friday before the coronation and again soon after the event, he won’t be able to make it.Harry Styles is also busy touring and unable to get key band members together, as they’ll be on a break from his tour.The Spice Girls were previously rumored to be reuniting for the coronation, but it looks like that won’t be happening either, according to The Daily Mail.

This news is surely disappointing to fans of the group, which has been largely on hiatus for years.Similarly, Marie Claire reports that Adele and Ed Sheeran have declined the invitation, though Adele’s camp apparently didn’t provide a reason.Despite the setbacks, some musicians have agreed to perform at the coronation.

Kylie Minogue has reportedly said yes, and Take That – without founding member Robbie Williams – is also rumored to be headlining the concert.

Lionel Richie is similarly expected to perform, and more acts are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.The King himself has personally chosen the music for the ceremony, which will feature a dozen newly-commissioned pieces, including an anthem from Cats composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.The service will also include Welsh-language music, with world-famous Welsh opera singer Sir Bryn Terfel as one of the soloists.
