PHARRELL WILLIAMS: ‘I HELPED INSPIRE DIANA CONCERT’
Rapper PHARRELL WILLIAMS inadvertently inspired the recent Concert for Diana by petitioning to play at Buckingham Palace.
The memorial gig for late British royal Diana, Princess of Wales, took place at London’s Wembley stadium on 1 July (07) and boasted a host of international music stars on the bill.
Williams insists the gig would never have happened if he hadn’t discussed a royal concert of his own with Diana’s son Prince William months earlier.
He explains, "I was talking to (William) about something that I was doing.
And we needed a purpose for it. I was promoting my record at the time, and I wanted to perform at the Palace. So he was going to get permission from the Queen. I guess it (happened). But it needed purpose. My album wasn’t enough.
"I mean, I was part of (the idea of Concert for Diana). I’m not gonna take credit for it."
