Luke Bryan has revealed that ‘big time’ guest judges will temporarily fill in for Katy Perry and Lionel Richie on American Idol. 

During the Stagecoach Festival, Bryan shared details about the upcoming appearance of the guest judges at The Coronation Concert of King Charles III, where Perry and Richie are set to perform. 

Despite keeping tight-lipped about the judges’ identities, Bryan emphasized their significant influence on the contestants. 

The singer-songwriter teased, ‘It’s big time, but I cannot tease.’ Perry, recently involved in controversy for ‘mom-shaming,’ and Richie were added to The Coronation Concert lineup earlier this month, alongside artists like Andrea Bocelli and Take That. 

First Lady Jill Bide𝚗 is expected to attend the coronation as a representative of the United States. 

Perry, expressing gratitude for the opportunity, highlighted her connection to King Charles through charitable efforts. The Coronation Concert is scheduled for May 7.
