Will aims to party just like Beckham
WILL YOUNG reckons he is music�s answer to DAVID BECKHAM � and plans to lift the nation just like the England skipper.
The Pop Idol agrees with Becks� rallying cry of �Let�s party� and told me: �This weekend is going to be the biggest knees-up in history.�
Will is on the bill for Monday�s Golden Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace and is determined to make sure things go off with a bang.
The country is already on a high after Goldenballs Beckham announced he is fit to play against Sweden in the World Cup tomorrow.
And Will, who is a dead cert to notch up his second No1 single tomorrow with his cover of Light My Fire, plans to add to the party spirit the following day.
Phoning from pre-concert rehearsals, he told me: �Beckham�s right. This is going to be a great weekend and people should definitely get involved.
�There is already a feeling of excitement around the country with the World Cup starting and I hope to add to that.�
Will is just as nervous about performing in front of his music heroes as he is of shaking hands with royalty.
He said: �I walked into rehearsals and there was Phil Collins with his drum kit. You can�t ask for more than that.
�I am very excited but I�m also very nervous � more than I have ever been before.
�It�s amazing to think that this time last year I was doing my university exams and now I�m singing in front of millions of people, not to mention the Queen.
�Although I�ve not got any revision to do, I�ve still got to remember my lines.
�The Royal Family are great and we should all get into the spirit of things this long weekend.�
