    Paul McCartney to headline monarch's concert

    LONDON (AP) — Former Beatle Paul McCartney will star in a musical tribute to Britain's queen to mark her Diamond Jubilee.

    The pop superstar will headline the concert to be held in front of Buckingham Palace. The concert will honor the monarch's 60 years on the throne.

    Event organizer Gary Barlow — the star of Take That — says the event will transcend multiple decades of music.

    Other performers include Elton John, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Annie Lennox, Cliff Richard, Jessie J, boy band JLS and singer songwriter Ed Sheeran.

    Barlow says the Princes William and Prince Harry had both requested artists to perform in front of an audience of more than 10,000, including the queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of the royal family.

      Sir Paul is as much royalty to those of us from his generation, as the Queen is to hers, and William and Harry are to theirs. It's befittting, and I hope it's all done in a fashion the honors all the royal family has done, and will do. Too bad America doesn't have icons to look up to like them.

        I wouldn't listen to rap,hip hop, chimp music or any of the crap that passes for modern music lately.My point was that paul hasn't contributed anything to music worth noting in the last 30 years or so.He'll close the show singing let it be and all of the people will be waving their arms and it will be so touching etc...
