Right when you think you know everything there is to know about King Charles III’s upcoming Coronation on May 6, the palace throws another curveball your way. Now, there’s another series of A-listers that are set to appear for the Coronation concert, and, erm, they’re quite an electric group.

Along with Katy Perry headlining the concert, her fellow American Idol judge Lionel Richie will perform, along with Andrea Bocelli, Take That, Sir Bryn Terfel, Freya Ridings, Paloma Faith, Tiwa Savage, Steve Winwood, Olly Murs, club DJ Pete Tong, and Alexis Ffrench. But they’re not the only ones set to take the stage!

In a new report from Variety, three more A-listers are set to take the stage for Charles‘ concert, like Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger, Winnie the Pooh, and Tom Cruise.

We know you’re probably confused, but here’s what you need to know: the Top Gun: Maverick star and Pooh will appear alongside many other stars in pre-recorded videos that’ll air throughout the concert giving “little-known facts about the King.”

It seems this coronation concert on May 7 may be a little more star-studded than people thought, especially since the controversial A-lister Cruise is now in the mix.

Why is Cruise a controversial one? Well, there are a few reasons. Along with many reports and disturbing inside accounts, his views on Scientology have raised quite a few eyebrows, and his rather outspoken opinion in the past on “outlawing” psychiatry. However, that doesn’t seem to sway the royal family from keeping their long-term A-list friend at bay.

While Tom Cruise has met quite a few of the royals over the years at different premieres and social events, the only official royal event he’s been at was Princess Diana’s funeral in 1997.

Yes! Not only has he been seen talking to many members of the family in the past thirty years, but Prince William and Kate Middleton also made his coveted cake Christmas gift list last year!

While Cruise seems to be buddies with so many members of the family, reports show that the one he may have been closest to was Queen Elizabeth II! Weeks before her passing in 2022, reports and sources claimed the two struck an unexpected, close friendship. What do you think those conversations were like?!
