Vladimir Putin Will Sing at Donald Trump’s Inauguration, Sources Say TRUMP TOWER, N.Y. — Amid questionable reports that President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is scrambling to find inaugural performers, comes news of an international entertainment guest star bombshell. Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin will reportedly sing Fats Domino’s 1956 hit “Blueberry Hill” at Donald Trump’s inaugural ceremony via live video hookup. A Russian liaison working closely with transition leaders said Putin will reprise his 2012 charity event performance of the song. “President Putin wishes he could attend the festivities in person,” said the liaison, identified as Althea Thoonyev. “Logistics, prior commitments, matters of state, and security concerns necessitate performance via live video.” “Glasnost was the beginning of a new openness throughout Russia,” said Thoonyev. “President Putin wishes to further bridge the perceived divide between our two nations using music — the universal language.” Trump opponents say Putin’s appearance is a PR stunt, engineered to deflect attention from unfounded charges that Putin interfered with America’s presidential election. Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and country superstar Garth Brooks are reportedly in negotiations to perform. 16-year-old America’s Got Talent singer Jackie Evancho will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
