Shirley Bassey Kylie Minogue Gary Barlow n Others To Perform At Queen’s Birthday Celebration

Kylie Minogue, James Blunt Gary Barlow, Dame Shirley Bassey and opera singer Katherine Jenkins will perform to celebrate the queen’s 90^th birthday due to take place in the private grounds of Windsor Castle on 15 May 2016.

Actress Helen Mirren, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of the Queen in 2006, will also make an appearance during the show - along with Doc Martin star Martin Clunes and Star Wars frontman John Boyega.

The televised celebration will tell the story of Her Majesty's life from her birth in 1926, taking the audience through World War Two to her coronation in 1953 - as well as her 62 years serving as monarch.

This isn't the first time Barlow and Dame Shirley have been asked to sing in front of a royal audience.

In 2012, the Take That singer composed the official single for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee alongside Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Meanwhile, Dame Shirley has performed before Her Majesty several times at the Royal Variety Performance.
