London, Apr 25 (ANI): Members of the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Sex Pistols are said to have joined hands to form a spectacular super group for the launch of the London Olympics.
Organisers of the upcoming 2012 games are currently working out plans for the opening ceremony, which will be directed by Oscar winner Danny Boyle.
Gold medal-winning rower Sir Steve Redgrave has now revealed he is hoping to see Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr team up with Sir Mick Jagger and John Lydon to put on a powerful display of British music talent to open the festivities.
“The London Games gives us a chance to celebrate our own history… We have to show the world what we are good at,” the Daily Express quoted him as telling the People newspaper.
“If Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo came together with great bands like the Rolling Stones and the Sex Pistols it would be fantastic.
“They are a huge part of our history. It would kick off the party and put us centre of the world’s attention,” he added. (ANI)
