"I had the honor of meeting and performing for Queen Elizabeth II on my trip to London in 1977. She carried herself with grace and strength her entire life. May she rest in peace. My thoughts are prayers are with her family at this time."
According to the Tennessean, the performance took place during the Queen's 25th Jubilee celebrations.

Mourners gathered outside Buckingham Palace upon hearing of the Queen's declining health and sang "God Save the Queen" after news of her death. King Charles III ascended the British throne immediately after her passing.
