Lloyd Webber and Gary Barlow team up for Queen’s Diamond Jubilee
Andrew Lloyd Webber and Gary Barlow are working together to compose a song to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
The song will be performed at the Diamond Jubilee concert outside Buckingham Palace on June 4.
To help create the song, Barlow is to travel around the world to discover what the Queen means to people. His journey will feature in a 60-minute documentary for BBC1.
Lloyd Webber said: “It is a huge honour to be involved in this historic occasion and I am looking forward very much to working with Gary.”
