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.

I remember that. Rock groups had never played on the Mall before. It wasn’t dignified enough. Maybe we should of held that line . . . rap groups and Madonna, etc. Ick.

I recall when some folks relentlessly mocked Trump for using the Internet, Twitter, etc. Including some here. ☺ They didn't get the power of the Internet.

They sold Trump short. They didn’t get what the guy was /is capable of.

Trump is going right straight to the people, and with problems like Mitch McConnell, he’ll take action and get almost instant response when he needs it.

McConnell has no idea what he’s bitten off here.

[dragnet2]

He’ll find out.

[SueRae]

She. Was. Amazing.

[DoughtyOne]

Sure will. The first week of January, his phones are going to melt down.

[SueRae]

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

I’m hearing Lee Greenwood’s gonna do God Bless the USA for sure

That is all I care about. I went to an Inaugural Swearing In and the Medal Of Honor Ball (nope not a Medal of Honor winner at all but proud to be amongst so many) and I don’t remember music at all. I doubt I missed a thing. So glad that Greenwood will be doing God Bless the USA.....that is such a great patriotic song and so perfect for Trump.
