Talk about the rock of ages. Some of the biggest names in music will appear on the same stage June 3, to mark Queen Elizabeth II's 50 years on the throne, reports Reuters. Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, Elton John, Phil Collins, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Bryan Adams -- along with British Prime Minister Tony Blair -- will gather inside the gates of Buckingham Palace for the celebration. The announcement has not gone without some snickering by the British papers, which noted with glee over the weekend that the local populace is viewing the anniversary with some degree of apathy. A Blair spokesman, seeking to play down those reports -- as well as quash predictions that the all-star concert could be a flop -- told Reuters, "The prime minister is firmly of the belief that the Golden Jubilee will be a great success." There are considerably fewer celebrations planned for this Golden Jubilee than there were for the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977. It was on Feb. 6, 1952, with the death of the monarch's father, King George VI, that Elizabeth was proclaimed queen after rushing home from a tour of Kenya.
