Leona Lewis and David Beckham have qualified for the Olympics… kind of.
The British pair will both appear at the “spectacular closing ceremony” for the Beijing Olympics this summer, as preparation for the handover for the 2012 London event.
Soccer star Becks will fly in from his Los Angeles home, whilst Lewis will perform in front of an global audience which could top 150 million.
A source tells the Sunday Mirror, “Leona and Beckham have accepted the invitation to sprinkle some stardust on the show. They epitomise what London 2012 is about.
“Leona is a young global star from London who has risen from nothing. Becks has glamour and a profile around the world. He was also a key figure in the bid to win the Games for London."
