Katy Perry to be replaced by ‘big time’ stars on ‘American Idol’ while she performs at King Charles’ coronation

Andrea Bocelli and his regular collaborator Sir Bryn Terfel performed the Coronation concert at Windsor Castle. The duo sang You'll Never Walk Alone before King Charles III and an audience of 20,000. Sir Bryn had a busy weekend having already performed the Welsh song Kyrie eleison at the actual Coronation service the day before.

King Charles III recently gave the world a glimpse at his comedic side, one that "American Idol" judge Lionel Richie knows all too well. Discussing his weekend at the coronation, Richie admitted the best part of the entire ordeal was being able to capture the comedic essence of King Charles and share it with the world. "I must be honest with you, I think the highlight for me was that I actually walked up to the king the day after the coronation and said, ‘Would you like to be on "American Idol?'" And he said, ‘Yeah,'" Richie told Extra.
