Andrea Bocelli is being personally approached by President-elect Donald Trump to perform at the inauguration.
The famed Italian tenor is performing at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Thursday and is said to be meeting with Trump on Friday.
A source exclusively told Page Six, “Trump has a long-standing relationship with Bocelli, and wants to ask him in person to perform. The plan is to have acts at the inauguration that are meaningful for Trump, and he’s a huge fan of Bocelli.”
In 2010, Trump hosted an evening with Bocelli at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
Trump and his family were also present at Bocelli’s packed free Central Park concert in 2011.
Colony Capital mogul Tom Barrack is in charge of inaugural events and has been working with famed “Apprentice” producer Mark Burnett on the lineup.
But, the source said, “They are keeping their cards very close to their chests,” adding, “One thing is for sure, you won’t see Beyoncé lip-syncing again this year,” as she did during President Obama’s 2013 inauguration.

GWAR had a schedule conflict. Dang it.
As if there's been a struggle. Not buying it.
Well that’s it - Trump has peaked. It’s all over. /s
I know for a fact Garth Brooks is interested and asked...
Italian opera performer? Trump’s not even hiding his ties to the mafia and Berlusconi anymore. /s
Good. Glad to hear it.
It’s going to be a great event, and it would be something nice to look back on for many performers for the rest of their lives.
Ya mean no hip hop-—no rappers???
Well one thing at least. He won’t be standing on a stage all by himself with these Grecian columns behind him telling all how wonderful he is like 0bama did.
Ted Nugent also!
Wango Zee Tango!
I don’t remember any past republican entertainment. Was it ever a topic before now?
Roma and Mark are the best possible people I can think of to make this a memorable event, Bocelli is the cherry on top of the sundae!
Yeah, as if Trump has been reduced to putting ads in Craigslist for someone to play some music. Once again, the media keeps exposing themselves as a pack of deceitful biased liars.
Gotta love it!
we are not RATS who need trained monkeys to perform for us to keep our attention... but it is too bad GWAR had a previous engagement
>May Have Finally Found Celeb Performers
Yet another fake news dump. As if President Trump ever had an issue with teeing any he wanted up.
Facts are for those than understand them. The rest of the idiots can go #SiO2. Ignoring idiots is the best route, and that’s a fact.
We got Kanye!
I’m hearing Lee Greenwood’s gonna do God Bless the USA for sure...that should drive the libs crazy!
