Kylie Minogue turns down playing King Charles coronation along with growing list of stars

Kylie Minogue has reportedly turned down an invite to perform at King Charles' Coronation Concert and joins a growing list of other stars refusing to play.

It comes as another blow for the royal's celebratory bash at Windsor Castle.

The Can't Get You Out of My Head singer was said to be in negotiations with the King's team to perform at the event on May 7.

But the 54-year-old pop star, who is the highest selling female Australian artist ever, will be out of the country at the time of the celebration.

A spokesperson told the Mirror: “Kylie unfortunately won’t be able to perform at The Coronation as she will be out of the country at that time.”

Kylie has already attended many royal events over the years.

The pop idol even performed for Queen Elizabeth’s 92nd birthday event at the Royal Albert Hall back in 2018.

She also paid a heartfelt tribute to the late monarch following her death in September of last year.

Posting on social media she wrote: "The occasions I had the honour of being in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II, her energy, compassion and aura had a most singular brilliance. I was, and am, in awe.

"My deepest condolences to family and friends. Rest in Peace."

Kylie recently reunited with sister Dannii on stage for the first time in eight years at the Sydney WorldPride Opening Concert.

They came together for a rendition of Kylie's song All The Lovers.

It follows Kylie reportedly calling quits on her relationship with GQ exec Paul Solomons a year after she returned to back home to Australia while he remains in the UK.

Kylie joins a growing list of other stars who are said to have turned down the coronation event.

British superstars including Elton John, the Spice Girls, Adele, Harry Styles, Robbie Williams and Ed Sheeran are said to have declined to perform.

It now leaves Take That and Lionel Ritchie as the rumoured headliners.

The weekend of events is scheduled to take place from Saturday 6 until Monday 8 May - with a bank holiday thrown in.

The Coronation concert will take place on Sunday 7 May at Windsor Castle and will be broadcast by the BBC.

There will also be performances by The Coronation Choir, made up of community choirs and amateur singers from across the UK.

The centrepiece of the Coronation Concert, ‘Lighting up the Nation’, will see the country join together in celebration as iconic locations across the United Kingdom are lit up using projections, lasers, drone displays and illuminations.
