London: The head of the Olympics ceremonies, Stephen Daldry, has promised that the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics would be as spectacular as the Danny Boyle’s opening event.
He predicted that the athletes and the audience at the ceremony would be amazed by the party.
He said: “It’s a celebration, of the athletes and the volunteers and of London and everything London can do. It’s going to be a real party – like the best wedding party you’ve ever been at.
“Everyone is calling it the biggest closing ceremony they have ever seen. I’m really hoping that people will gather at the live sites and in their homes and pubs and have the time of their life. Get the beers in and celebrate. Goodness, there’s a lot to celebrate,” The Independent quoted him as saying.
Though the details of the ceremony are being kept secret, some artists such as George Michael, Muse and Ed Sheeran have confirmed their participation.
Other rumoured performances include The Kinks’ Ray Davies singing ‘Waterloo Sunset’, Paul McCartney, Adele, Pet Shop Boys, Beady Eye, Take That, Queen, Paul Weller, One Direction and Elton John, while the Spice Girls have been photographed rehearsing on top of black cabs.
“There are dancing girls and sets from different eras and brass bands and Coldstream Guards and more dancing girls and half-naked Brazilian girls and half-naked Brazilian boys – and all this amazing headline talent,” Daldry said.
