Katy Perry and Lionel Richie to perform at coronation concert

Katy Perry and Lionel Richie are among the first names to be announced for King Charles III's coronation concert.

It is set to take place in the grounds of Windsor Castle next month, with an audience of more than 20,000 people.

The show will be based on themes of love, respect and optimism.

Perry, who has sold 57 million albums worldwide, has a connection with King Charles III, who appointed her in 2020 to the British Asian Trust.

Richie, who was the first global ambassador of The Prince's Trust charity, has called the coronation concert "a once-in-a-lifetime event" and an "honour and celebration".
