The Olympic Games in London open on July 27th. So far there's no word on who may perform at the opening ceremony which is being downplayed because they don't want to raise expectations that it will be on the same monumental scale as the Beijing Games opener four years ago.
The closing ceremony is being called "A Symphony of British Music" led by the LSO. Adele is confirmed to perform.
No doubt that brit legends like Sir Paul and The Rolling Stones are in consideration and possibly Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. There are rumors that organizers are at impasse with Elton John. It would really be a shame if he was not there.
I hope the organizers do better than their contribution to the Beijing closing; a pitiful mismatch of Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page.
My suggestion for something that would be a peak, have Paul and Ringo together doing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band" and "With A Little Help From My Friends". I don't think that medley has ever been done by them live.
The ceremonies are being produced by Danny Boyle, the director of "Slumdog Millioniare" and "127 Hours".
