Oops, guess not! Here's the lineup for the closing ceremonies:
Madness - 'Our House'. Pet Shop Boys - 'West End Girls'. One Direction - 'What Makes You Beautiful'. Elbow - 'One Day Like This' & 'Open Arms'. George Michael - 'Freedom' & 'White Light'. Kaiser Chiefs - 'Pinball Wizard'. Annie Lennox - 'Little Bird'. The Clash - 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go'. Ed Sheeran - 'Wish You Were Here'. Russell Brand - 'Pretty Vacant'. Liam Gallagher - 'Wonderwall'. Jessie J - 'Price Tag'. Taio Cruz - 'Dynamite'. Tinie Tempah - 'Written in the Stars'. Tinie Tempah & Jessie J - 'You Should Be Dancing'. Eric Idle - 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life'. Russell Brand - 'I Am The Walrus'. Queen & Jessie J - 'We Will Rock You'. Take That - 'Rule The World'. Darcey Bussell - 'Spirit Of The Flame'. The Who The Spice Girls - 'Spice Up Your Life' & 'Wannabe'.
So Duran Duran isn't important enough to appear, but Russell Brand is? Geeeeeez...

I'm getting bored with it. Prince Harry is representing the Queen. Poor soul must have had enough after the opening ceremony

George Michael is on now singing Freedom. Oh how I wish our guys could have been there. He's just said "You guys are at the centre of the universe". Precisely. All You Need Is Now.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Someone on Twitter mentioned that Duran Duran should appear to sing 'Rio' during the handoff to Rio de Janiero (home for the 2016 games.) That would be great, but certainly we'd know something by now if that was the case.

Wanted to add, so far the closing ceremonies has been about 99.5% music and about .5% anything to do with the Olympics. It seems to have a lot more to do with Vegas than anything athletic.

No wonder the Queen has given it a miss. Yes,I thought of Rio. Perhaps they will be invited to play in Rio in 2016.
