LONDON, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- British pop star Elton John, a friend of the late Princess Diana, says he will probably perform at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding next spring.

John memorably sang a tailor-made version of his song "Candle in the Wind" at the 1997 funeral of Diana, William's mother.

The prince and his bride-to-be recently announced they intend to wed April 29 at London's historic Westminster Abbey, the church where Diana's funeral was held.

People.com said John was asked Friday on BBC Radio what role he would play in the upcoming royal wedding.

He at first replied he would "probably" perform, but then added, "I'll probably be outside busking."

"It is all speculation," a palace spokeswoman told People.com regarding the guest list and possible entertainment for the big event. "Nothing has been determined. We are still in discussions. They are only now sitting down and starting to think about things."
