The Duke of Sussex joked around with rock star legend Bon Jovi ahead of meeting him at Abbey Road Studios
One of Prince Harry's last royal duties is partying with a rockstar.
Next week, Bon Jovi will join members of the Invictus Games Choir to record a special version of his hit “Unbroken,” in Studio 2 at Abbey Road Studios where The Beatles famously recorded their music. The prince, who founded the Invictus Games to benefit wounded veterans, will meet the singer at the studio.
“Unbroken,” a song Bon Jovi wrote to highlight veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, will be released in March and proceeds from the single will go towards the Invictus Games Foundation, the British royal family said in a news release. Bon Jovi will also release feature the song on his upcoming album.

Bon Jovi added that it’ll just be him singing at the event.
“Don’t expect me to sing…BUT I’ll give it a shot!” Harry said.
