It will be the first time that the duo have collaborated, although it's not clear what song they plan to perform.

According to today's Mirror newspaper, David Beckham will also feature at the ceremony, arriving on an iconic London double-decker bus to signify the end of China's reign as Olympic hosts.

London will host the next Olympic Games in 2012.

“It is set to be one of the most mind-blowing spectacles ever. David was elated to be asked to take part, as was everyone who has been invited,” one official was quoted as saying.
