Despite reports claiming Ed Sheeran turned down the chance to perform at Windsor Castle, the singer said he actually never received an invitation from the Buckingham Palace requesting his services at King Charles III\u2019s Coronation Concert.
The British singer, who recently won a copyright trial in New York, said he \u201cwasn\u2019t asked\u201d but was \u201cexcited to tune in\u201d to the bash at Windsor Castle on Sunday evening, reports mirror.co.uk.
Ed also explained how he wanted to \u201cset the record straight\u201d regarding reports that he had turned down the chance to belt out a tune for the new King and Queen – revealing there was actually no offer from the Buckingham Palace for him to reject. Ed, alongside Alanis Morissette, instead spent his Sunday evening as a guest judge on \u2018American Idol\u2019, as full-time judges Katy Perry and Lionel Richie performed for the newly-crowned head of state in London.
\u201cNo one ever asked me (to perform),\u201d the \u2018Shape of You\u2019 singer added to the sound of gasps from the radio show\u2019s hosts.
\u201cI assume if they went online and went \u2018what\u2019s Ed doing on May 6\u2019, they would go \u2018oh he\u2019s playing in Dallas\u2019 so I think that\u2019s what\u2019s happened.\u201d
\u201cI never ever turned it down. I wasn\u2019t asked but yeah, I am excited to tune into that. Historic, isn\u2019t it?\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
