It's not so much their physical absence than the absence of their songs. There's a celebration of Brt music for the past 50 years and not a single Coldplay song?

Gary Barlow singing with Take Back after the news that he just lost a child was heartbreaking. Other than that, very boring ceremony.

So heartbreaking to see Gary Barlow performing with Take That. Good on you man!

We just have to wait for the Paralympics closing ceremony. Our guys will shine where it really matters.

Any Coldplay songs yet?

Will they at least play some Coldplay songs? I was late tuning in.

Well, tonight is it. I will miss the North America leg night shift. It was fun.

Could these guys possibly catch the red-eye after tonight's concert and make it to London in time for the closing ceremony?

London Olympics closing ceremony to feature Spice Girls, Coldplay, One Direction and more JAMES Bond, a Beatle and a parachuting Queen are hard acts to follow, but the London Olympic closing ceremony on Sunday promises to be another dazzling spectacle. Titled A Symphony Of British Music, it is expected to be a display of stars and songs celebrating 50 years of British music and culture. Details are secret but a number of names have leaked. The globe-conquering boy band One Direction are tipped to be on the bill. Coldplay, Muse, The Who, Queen, Madness, Annie Lennox, Kaiser Chiefs, Tinie Tempah, Jessie J, Ed Sheeran and Elbow are also rumoured to feature. George Michael confirmed he would reform '80s chart-toppers Wham! for the evening.He tweeted: "Spending most of the next week rehearsing like crazy for the Olympic closing ceremony." Take That, including Robbie Williams, are also due to take part, but lead singer Gary Barlow, who suffered tragedy this week when his baby died, is now in doubt. The Spice Girls have been tipped as the star act of the night. British comedy talent including Russell Brand, Jennifer Saunders of Absolutely Fabulous and Monty Python's Eric Idle, as well as musical hit Stomp, have also been mentioned as likely performances. In a Ministry of Defence hangar outside of London, Billy Elliot director Stephen Daldry and Kim Gavin, the creative brain behind Take That's Circus Live shows, have created the closing ceremony. Es Devlin, who worked on Lady Gaga's Monster Ball US tour, and David Arnold, who composed the music for five James Bond films, have also worked on the project. It will feature more than 4100 performers, including 3500 adult volunteers and 380 schoolchildren from the six east London host boroughs. The show will reportedly include lollipop ladies directing traffic, a parade of the Queen's Coldstream Guards, a recreation of the Notting Hill Carnival and a catwalk of British models including Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell. At the end, Brazil will showcase its festive culture in an eight-minute presentation. London will hand the Olympic flag over to Rio - the host of the 2016 Games. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/london-olympics/london-olympics-closing-ceremony-to-feature-spice-girls-coldplay-one-direction-and-more/story-fn9dirj0-1226447857177
