Luke Bryan has revealed that American Idol will feature guest judges to temporarily replace Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. The country singer, who is also a judge on the show, shared this news during his appearance at the Stagecoach Festival. Although Bryan did not reveal any details about the guest judges, he promised that they would be “big time.” While Perry and Richie will be absent from the show due to their scheduled performance at The Coronation Concert of King Charles III, fans can look forward to seeing some exciting new faces on American Idol.
According to Luke Bryan, American Idol will have guest judges taking over temporarily for Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Bryan mentioned that these guest judges have already influenced the contestants significantly. He also jokingly refused to give more details about the situation as he did not want to be kicked off the show. Recently, Perry and Richie were announced to be part of The Coronation Concert with other artists such as Andrea Bocelli and Take That scheduled to perform. First Lady Jill Biden is expected to attend the event alongside thousands of guests. Perry also spoke about her connection with King Charles, with whom she has worked with on various charitable efforts. She even joked about a “hologram” filling in for her on American Idol while she’s at The Coronation Concert.
Exciting news! The upcoming Coronation Concert of King Charles III will feature two amazing performers – none other than the California Gurls singer and Richie. You won’t want to miss out on this epic event! And, just in case you were wondering, we recently spotted Richie earlier this month. Get ready for a night to remember!
Remaining mum: Bryan declined to spill the beans when asked to comment about the guest judges, despite being spotted with Perry, Richie, and Seacrest a few weeks ago.
Creating excitement: Although the TV personality didn’t elaborate much, they did mention that the impact of the guest judges was evident among many of the participants in the show.
Sharing openly: The singer later discussed her relationship with King Charles, with whom she has collaborated on numerous philanthropic endeavors. The two were captured together in 2020.
It’s amazing that I have the chance to attend. His Majesty appointed me as one of the ambassadors for The British Asian Trust a few years back when I met him. Being an ambassador for UNICEF is also something I cherish because it aligns with my beliefs. I feel so thrilled to perform at the upcoming Coronation Concert, it’s such an awesome opportunity. The concert is slated to happen on May 7th.
