“Exceptional authorization”
This Sunday, in the show “C Médiatique”, on France 5, Stéphane Bern revealed that Pharrell Williams would also be there, as well as Paul McCartney.
The ex-Beatles would have obtained “exceptional authorization” from the archdiocese to sing Imagine inside the cathedral. However, a few hours later, Jackie Lombard, the French producer of Paul McCartney's shows, denied the information to BFMTV. “He did receive an invitation,” she said. It's a great honor for him. The production denies live participation. There is no recording planned either. »
The Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel, will however participate in the event as well as several other artists including pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and tenor Benjamin Bernheim.
