Jonjo Shelvey offered music megastar £50,000 to sing at his wedding and was turned down

Jonjo Shelvey has gone on the record to reveal that he offered a world renowned musician £50,000 to sing one song at his wedding but was turned down.

MIdfielder Jonjo made a rather emotional Newcastle United exit earlier this year, bringing his children onto the pitch to bid a final farewell to Magpies fans, after his switch to Nottingham Forest was confirmed. The 31-year-old spent seven years on Tyneside before his switch to Forest, living in the area with his family, including wife Daisy, who he tied the knot with in 2015.

And he has now claimed that he had hoped to land All of Me and Ordinary People singer John Legend for a star turn at their nuptials, but was turned down by the star, despite offering him a four figure sum.
