King Charles's star-studded coronation may performance by Paul McCartney

Los Angeles: Sir Paul McCartney, a founding member of the Beatles, is rumoured to receive the privilege of performing at the coronation of King Charles III.

The 80-year-old music icon is apparently being sought out by royal organisers who hope the singer may contribute some song to the festivities this May when 74-year-old King Charles and Her Majesty The Queen Consort, Camilla, are formally crowned, according to Mirror.co.uk.

A source told The Sun: "Royal organisers are super-keen on landing Paul for this historical once-in-a-lifetime performance. "The general thought is that having a Beatle singing on King Charles' big day would seal the deal and other acts can slot in around him. Paul is the perfect signing, thanks to his extensive back catalogue and huge global appeal."

As per Mirror.co.uk, the concert is expected to include orchestral performances of musical favourites fronted by some of the world's biggest entertainers - as well as performances by a cast of dancers.

While Sir Paul is one of the names tipped to take part, other big names are yet to be revealed - however, there will be performances by The Coronation Choir which will be made up of community choirs and amateur singers from across the United Kingdom.
