Olympics closing ceremony setlist leaks
Quote:
Take That, George Michael and The Who are among the artists on an alleged leaked setlist for the London Olympics closing ceremony on August 12.
Queen, Jessie J and Russell Brand will also perform during the two-hour musical and theatrical event according to the leaked document, reports the Daily Mail.
The beginning stages of the gig will see models of iconic London landmarks including Big Ben, the London Eye and St Paul's Cathedral covered in newspaper, before being unwrapped by hundreds of people.
The opening scenes will be based on London's rush-hour period, with around 300 people speeding around in cars, scooters and bicycles.
Lollipop ladies will then reportedly strip to reveal Union Jack swimsuits to the theme of the national anthem.
Annie Lennox, Madness, Ray Davies and the Pet Shop Boys will be among the legendary stars to perform during the gig.
Kaiser Chiefs, Emeli Sandé, One Direction, Elbow, Ed Sheeran, Tinie Tempah and Fatboy Slim will represent the modern generation of performers.
Russell Brand will perform a cover of 'I Am the Walrus' by the Beatles, along with a version of Sex Pistols track 'Pretty Vacant' with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.
Kate Moss will also lead a catwalk to represent the best of British fashion, alongside other top models Naomi Campbell, Stella Tennant, Lily Cole and Georgia May Jagger.
The Who will close the show, while Darcey Bussell and 300 Royal Ballet members will dance as the Olympic flame dies out.
Tickets for the event are still available at prices of £1,500, £995 and £655.
Ceremony producer Gavin Kent said: "We want to create a fabulous, emotional experience, something people remember for years to come. It will be an elegant mash-up of British music."
Take That, George Michael and The Who have been rumoured to be among the line-up since early June.
Robbie Williams was originally scheduled to join his Take That members but recently pulled out due to the possible birth of his first child.
The leaked line-up is as follows:

Wow, Jessie J is performing 3 times.
I assume Emeli is doing "Read All About It Part III" right? I sure hope so.

How long is this supposed to be??? And why are there so many repeat performers from the Queen's Jubilee (though while they were at it, they should've invited Grace Jones and Stevie Wonder to help close the "World Cup")??
Anyway, we'll see if this is true, but I have a hard time believing it for some reason...

Yeah, I didn't look at the source first. Digital Spy? Eh...I'll wait for BBC.

Stripping to the National Anthem? Isn't that a bit disrespectful... I hope it's fake tbh looks boring.
To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it, to love it for what it is, and then, to put it away. Always the years between us, always the years. Always the love. Always the hours.
