Freya Ridings has had to pull out of the event due to illness, while British singer-songwriter Zak Abel has stepped in to perform at Sunday’s Coronation Concert
The BBC confirmed British singer-songwriter Zak Abel will replace the Castles hitmaker.
Londoner Zak will showcase his soulful vocals in a duet alongside classical-soul composer/producer Alexis Ffrench at the concert to celebrate the Coronation of Their Majesties The King and Queen, which will be broadcast from 8pm on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, Radio 2 and BBC Sounds on Sunday 7 May. He said, “I am honoured and overwhelmed to be included in the Coronation celebrations. To have the opportunity to be part of such a historic moment is something I will forever be humbled by and will never forget.”
As well as creating his own compositions, featuring his instinctively soulful, funky and catchy melodies, Zak, who secured his first record deal whilst still a teenager, featured on Gorgon City’s top 20 song, Unmissable. He has also collaborated with some of the world’s biggest dance producers, including Kygo , Avicii and Tom Misch .
Having being diagnosed with otosclerosis – overgrowth and brittleness of the stapes bone in the ear, which can lead to hearing loss – when he was just 21, Zak has overcome a number of hurdles in order to achieve success in the competitive world of music, which has led him to the opportunity to perform at this once in a lifetime event.Check out all the latest hot topics on OK! magazine’s news section and discover exclusive celebrity news about your favourite soap actors and reality stars.
