I feel so completely grateful to have been asked to open the Paris @Olympics 2024 this year. I am also humbled to be asked by the Olympics organizing committee to sing such a special French song—a song to honor the French people and their tremendous history of art, music, and theatre. This song was sung by Zizi Jeanmaire, born in Paris a French ballerina, she famously sang “Mon Truc en Plumes” in 1961. The title means “My Thing with Feathers.” And this is not the first time we’ve crossed paths. Zizi starred in Cole Porter’s musical “Anything Goes” which was my first jazz release. Although I am not a French artist, I have always felt a very special connection with French people and singing French music—I wanted nothing more than to create a performance that would warm the heart of France, celebrate French art and music, and on such a momentous occasion remind everyone of one of the most magical cities on earth—Paris. We rented pom poms from Le Lido archive—a real French cabaret theater. We collaborated with Dior to create custom costumes, using naturally molted feathers. I studied French choreography that put a modern twist on a French classic. I rehearsed tirelessly to study a joyful French dance, brushing up on some old skills—I bet you didn’t know I used to dance at a 60’s French party on the lower east side when I was first starting out! I hope you love this performance as much as I do. And to everyone in France, thank you so much for welcoming me to your country to sing in honor of you—it’s a gift I’ll never forget! Congratulations to all the athletes who are competing in this year’s Olympic Games! It is my supreme honor to sing for you and cheer you on!! Watching the Olympic Games always makes me cry! Your talent is unimaginable. Let the games begin!

Rosewood London X celebrating 10 years of @RosewoodLondon @RosewoodHotels

With or without Brexit, in or out of the EU, having a leader to drive the best of British to other countries is welcome. Of course being in the EU and driving trade to our neighbours makes more sense given distance and climate concerns. Still trade drives growth and while red tape diminishes growth, we still need to present brand U.K.

Of course we do! How on earth do people think we go about promoting Britain to the outside world and attract inward investment which supports the UK economy and jobs for eveyone?

You can't have a world class campaign to promote the country without paying up for the right person. The Great campaign has been very successful in generating returns for the UK. Ie it brings in money which helps fund gov services. The question is phrased without context.
