How Britain’s athletes fare remains to be seen, but the organisers of the
star-studded Olympic closing ceremony are certainly going for gold.
 
While precise details of the event at the Olympic Stadium on August 12 are
still a closely guarded secret, The Mail on Sunday has seen a working set
list which suggests it will be a two-hour musical and theatrical
extravaganza.
 
There’ll be everything from Russell Brand and Kate Moss to Coldstream
Guards and stripping lollipop ladies.
Nurse, the screens! Performers with props during rehearsals for the
opening ceremony at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday

Expected highlights will include live performances by Queen, Take That,
Annie Lennox, George Michael, Ray Davies, The Pet Shop Boys and Madness.
 
For younger music fans there are likely to be appearances by Emeli Sande –
who at present is due to open the show with her hit Read All About It –
Kaiser Chiefs, One Direction, Elbow, Ed Sheeran, Tinie Tempah and Jessie J.

    Are your new digs better than in Helmand, boys? Makeshift barracks
where thousands of troops will live during the Games
 
The Who are currently scheduled to close the show while ballerina Darcey
Bussell and 300 dancers from the Royal Ballet perform The Spirit of The
Flame as the Olympic Flame is put out.
Extravaganza: Russell Brand will perform The Beatles' I Am The Walrus and
Sex Pistols' Pretty Vacant

Russell Brand is scheduled to perform a comedy version of the Sex Pistols’
song Pretty Vacant with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders – all in full
punk get-up.
 
Brand is also due to perform The Beatles’ song I Am The Walrus.
 
A tribute to British fashion will see supermodels Kate Moss, Naomi
Campbell, Stella Tennant, Lily Cole and Georgia Jagger strut down a
catwalk to the David Bowie songs Fashion and Rebel Rebel, although the
singer himself will not be there.
 
The opening moments of the ceremony will see versions of London landmarks
such as Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral and the London Eye, all of them
covered in newspaper, being unwrapped by a cast of hundreds.
 
An estimated 300 performers will take part in a routine based on the
capital’s rush hour, with cars, scooters and bicycles hurrying around the
main stage while lollipop ladies direct the tooting traffic and road
workers drill the pavements.
 
Then, to a potentially controversial Full Monty-style rendition of the
National Anthem, the performers will strip off their costumes – the
lollipop ladies will reveal Union Jack-themed swimsuits, while the
commuters and road workers will be in similarly patriotic bodysuits and
other outfits.
 
Perhaps it’s just as well that the Queen has yet to confirm her attendance
in the Royal Box, where she would join London 2012 chief Lord Coe and
President of the International Olympic Committee Jacques Rogges.

The Notting Hill Carnival will also be re-enacted on stage and there will
be a parade of 160 Coldstream Guards who are currently due to march to a
military band rendition of Blur’s Park Life. 
 
Madness will sing their hit Our House – after raising the roof at
Buckingham Palace with the same tune at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee
concert last month.
 
And veteran singer Ray Davies is presently scheduled to sing his Kinks’
hit Waterloo Sunset as the London skyline is transformed into a funfair
and 270 children in costume recreate the River Thames.
 
As with the opening ceremony on July 27 there will be a parade of national
flags led by Greece while Elbow perform One Day Like This.
 
Organisers have also planned a parade of 10,000 athletes and a Victory
Ceremony during which footage of the highlights of the two weeks’ Games
will be screened.

When the Victory Ceremony comes to a close there is due to be a sudden
blackout followed by the opening chords of Bohemian Rhapsody. Also due to
be part of the show is a tribute to John Lennon, with footage of the late
Beatle talking being screened in the stadium.
 
According to the latest running order, the acts appearing near the finale
are Take That, who are due to sing Rule The World, and Queen, who will
perform We Will Rock You with Jessie J.
 
The band’s late lead singer Freddie Mercury will appear as a projection.
Celebrating the Olympics’ birthplace, the Greek national anthem will be
played.
 
Some tickets are still available at prices of £1,500, £995 and £655 for an
event which producer Kent Gavin described as ‘the biggest after-show party
– the show being the sport’.
 
He added: ‘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.’
 
The show is still being finalised, and London 2012 organisers stressed the
set list was subject to change.
 
A spokesman said: ‘Up until closer to the time it is just a line-up. This
list is just speculation, there may well still be changes, even at this
stage.’

E' un paio di mesi che gira sta voce (che ero a conoscenza di questa
collaborazione) ma per ovvi motivi di riservatezza non potevo dire
nulla... cmq cito Wikipedia perch� pure io la conosco poco: Jessica Ellen
Cornish, conosciuta col suo nome d'arte Jessie J (Londra, 27 marzo 1988),
� una cantautrice britannica. Ha ottenuto fama grazie alla scrittura di
canzoni per artisti come Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Miley Cyrus e
Christina Aguilera e in particolar modo grazie alla vittoria del premio
della critica nel sondaggio della BBC Sound of 2011.[1]
 
Il suo primo singolo, Do It Like a Dude, � stato pubblicato nel novembre
2010 raggiungendo la seconda posizione nella classifica britannica.[2]
Prima della pubblicazione dell'album di debutto, Who You Are, avvenuta il
25 febbraio 2011, � stata inoltre pubblicata la collaborazione con B.o.B
Price Tag nel gennaio dello stesso anno.
