Stevie Wonder
performs at the
Diamond Jubilee Concert
June 5, 2012
The legendary Stevie Wonder took to the stage in London last night to perform at the star-studded Diamond Jubilee concert, playing “Sir Duke”, “Isn’t She Lovely”, “Happy Birthday” and “Superstition” to the crowd assembled in front of Buckingham Palace and an average audience of nearly 15million watching at home. Wonder even switched up a fair few lyrics in tribute to the monarch, joining the likes of JLS, Jessie J, Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, Gary Barlow and Grace Jones and many more who hit the stage during the three hour show. At one point, he was inexplicably joined on stage by will.i.am, who performed earlier in the night and provided ad-libs on Wonder’s Queen-themed rendition of “Happy Birthday”.
Of course, this means that history will now tell of Cheryl Cole gracing the same stage as the likes of Stevie, Sir Paul McCartney and Annie Lennox. How’s that for a bring-in?
