Rihanna And Coldplay To Duet At Paralympics Closing Ceremony

Who's Rihanna Going To Duet With At Paralympics Closing Ceremony?

Rihanna is set to duet with rockers Coldplay at a spectacular Paralympics closing ceremony.

The Umbrella hitmaker will perform a couple of her own songs before joining the band on stage, according to The Daily Star.

They are expected to wow sports fans with a special arrangement of the Coldplay hit Prince Of China.

A source said: "All the closing ceremony details are top secret but Rihanna has already started rehearsing. As soon as Coldplay signed up she was with them on stage."

Coldplay rejected a slot at the Olympic closing ceremony to perform at the Paralympics instead.

The source continued: "The closing ceremony is basically a glorified Coldplay concert. They will hardly be off stage. They were originally approached to do the main Olympics but turned it down for the Paralympics. They may only be getting paid a £1 to perform but they will make a fortune in royalties as their music flies up the charts afterwards."

To honour the occasion the band will also change the lyrics of hit single Paradise and change them to 'Paralympics'.

Details of the show are a closely guarded secret but the theme is thought to focus on the elements - earth, wind, water, fire and ice.

Unlike the Olympics show, just a few major acts will perform and they will not all be British.
