I've known for awhile but it's always been slated as a 'rumor'... but yes, yesterday, it had been 100% confirmed.
ONE DIRECTION WILL BE PERFORMING AT THE CLOSING CEREMONIES IN LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS!
*cue the fangirl screaming, crying, dying*
Okay, now that we've calmed our mammaries, there are some details that came with this confirmation... but THOSE have been still rumors.
One rumor that I really hope is true is that in addition to singing WMYB, they will also be performing A NEW SONG from their new album!
*cue more fangirl screaming, crying, dying*
The Spice Girls, Ed Sheeran (AHHHH!), Pink Floyd, The Who, and Adele are also confirmed to be performers.
RUMORS for who will also be performing are Queen (I actually love them okay), Coldplay (AHHHH!), and George Michael.
Last but not least, Take That is also slated to perform! YES! This will be one of the best closing ceremonies like, ever.
