He continued: "Returning almost 50 years on, we are doing a bit better for ourselves, so I may even splash out on some new aftershave before taking to the stage at Hyde Park, the most beautiful park in London, that has opened its gates to so many legends in the past. We are beyond honoured to be allowed to put on a show and hope the Royals will enjoy it."
