Andrew Lloyd Webber says writing coronation anthem was 'antidote' for son's death

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber has said writing the coronation anthem has been "a kind of antidote" for dealing with the death of his son earlier this year.

The theatre impresario’s song, Make a Joyful Noise, will be played publicly for the first time as the King is enthroned on Saturday.

Lord Lloyd Webber, 75, who is known for hit musicals including The Phantom Of The Opera, Evita and Jesus Christ Superstar, has drawn on the words of Psalm 98 for his anthem.
