On June 4, the Platinum Jubilee weekend, several global superstars took to the stage outside Buckingham Palace for a two-and-a-half hour concert.

The Los Angeles-based Easy on Me singer, 34, was scheduled to perform at the concert, but she reportedly declined the invitation.

A source revealed, “They were told she [Adele] couldn’t do it. Scheduling issues, or something like that, were given as an excuse.”

“It caused a lot of surprise, particularly as she was awarded an MBE (in 2013). After all, how many chances will there be to perform in front of Buckingham Palace for the Queen?” source added.

The former One Direction star, 28, also turned down the opportunity to perform at the Platinum Jubilee concert. The source revealed that no explanation was given for Styles’ rejection to the invitation, “He was asked. He could not participate because of timing with his schedule.”
