Platinum Party at the Palace: Royal fans ‘can’t forgive’ Rod Stewart after performance

He sang Sweet Caroline

Platinum Party at the Palace viewers have said they just ‘can’t forgive’ Rod Stewart after his performance of Sweet Caroline last night.

Stars of the music, celebrity, royal and sporting world took to the stage outside Buckingham Palace on Saturday night (June 4) for a huge concert honouring Her Majesty’s 70 years on the throne.

But fans watching at home were not happy when Sir Rod belted out Neil Diamond hit Sweet Caroline.

Fans ‘can’t forgive’

Former BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker stepped and said it was such a brilliant concert overall.

“We’ll even forgive Rod Stewart for Sweet Caroline,” he wrote.

Fans however, did not agree.

They replied to Dan insisting they could ‘never forgive’ him.

Rod Stewart defends himself

It seems even Rod was aware he wasn’t going to sing the classic song very well.

He told the crowds: “The BBC made me sing it. Join in and make it comfortable for me.”

Those in the crowd got in the spirit though, with even Prince George and his father Prince William singing along gleefully as they waved their flags.
