Harry and Jon Bon Jovi recreate Abbey Road cover
THE Duke of Sussex and rock star Jon Bon Jovi followed the footsteps of The Beatles as they recreated the Fab Four’s Abbey Road album cover.
Harry stepped onto the famous zebra crossing with the American musician and two members of the Invictus Games Choir.
They have been recording a charity single with the rocker at nearby Abbey Road Studios.
In an Instagram video post, the duke and the musician teased fans by gearing up to sing in a recording booth during the visit – with the footage stopping just before they burst into song.
Despite his brother, the Duke of Cambridge, joining Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift on stage in 2013 to sing Livin’ On A Prayer at a charity event, Harry was not tempted to test his vocal cords in public.
After watching the choir perform the charity single Unbroken, he said: “I’m just glad I don’t have to sing.”
Bon Jovi paid tribute to the duke – experiencing a turbulent period since announcing he will be stepping down from royal duties – for finding the time to tour the studios.
He said: “In light of everything that’s going on right now, I’m happy that he can take the time to be here for the choir and make it happen.”
Harry and wife Meghan’s plans to begin their new life in Canada were dealt a blow when the country’s government announced on Thursday it would not provide protection for the couple and their baby son, Archie.
Asked what he thought about Harry’s
situation, Bon Jovi replied: “I don’t know what it’s like to walk in his shoes, and as an American, I’m further removed, but I have immense respect for the family, for his brother, himself, his wife, his father, grandmother – we have immense respect for them in America.”
Every year the Abbey Road crossing – which has Grade II-listed status – draws thousands of music fans who recreate the picture of the Fab Four by Ian Macmillan.
