Emeli Sandé bookended her moving performance of the hymn”Abide With Me” at the Danny Boyle-directed Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games with another stunning performance during the Closing Ceremony last night. The Scottish-born singer and songwriter opened the proceedings with the song “Read All About It (Part III)” before a global audience of more than a billion people. Watch Sandé perform the song above.
Emeli recently wrapped up a stint opening for Coldplay, who handpicked her for their summer arena tour. In September, Emeli will perform one night of the month-long iTunes Festival taking place at the Roundhouse in Camden, London, along with Usher, Jack White, Norah Jones, One Direction, and others.
