Why everyone's talking about Billy Idol's royal wedding tweet
The royal wedding dominated social media Saturday, with Kim Kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker, and other stars posting about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s special day.
Rocker Billy Idol also chimed in with an observation about the events taking place at St. George’s Chapel. Unfortunately, the man famous for singing the 1982 hit “White Wedding” couldn’t quite seem to get the wording right.
Looks like a lovely day in UK for Harry and Meghan’s wedding #royalwedding

While Idol’s sentiment may have been sweet, his fans felt like this was a missed opportunity to trot out his most famous lyric: “It’s a nice day for a white wedding.”
Twitter users couldn’t resist poking fun at the oversight.

Not to criticize your work, Billy, but I don’t think that’s quite how the song went. pic.twitter.com/HTf1Uj8I9e

It took some prompting, but Idol eventually got there.
So it looked like ‘It was a nice day for a white wedding’ in the UK for Meghan and Harry #RoyalWedding2018
