I’ll do it!’“I’m truly joyful that she trusted me enough to give me this impeccable piece of theatre,” Chris added. “And also, any time she wants me to just do something for her, I’ll be of service all my life.”A post shared by Southbank Centre (@southbankcentre)As well as performing at Glastonbury and Coachella, Chris is set to curate this
