More artists will be part of the historic event as King Charles III will also hold the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle on May 7.
British press reports, however, said that the list no longer has Elton John, Harry Styles, and The Spice Girls's names due to conflicting schedules. Buckingham Palace reportedly tried to get Adele and Ed Sheeran on board; however, both of them revealed they could not make it.
