It is one of the biggest honours that could be bestowed upon a musician. Gold Coast musician Cody Simpson will have the honour of the lifetime as he represents Australia for a performance for The Queen at Buckingham Palace.
Speaking to Fairfax Media, Mr Simpson said, “It felt like I was dreaming as to me it is one of the biggest honours that could ever be bestowed upon an Aussie”. He added, “Representing my country and my hometown of the Gold Coast is something I am very proud of. I still call Australia home, to coin a phrase.
“I am currently scheduled to perform two songs acoustically at the palace — pretty crazy.”
