Arctic Monkeys received £1 for performing at Olympic

Arctic Monkeys was another band who received £1 for performing at Olympic London 2012 opening ceremony. Other included were Dizzee Rascal, Paul Mccartney and Frank Turner.

They agreed to play for free in London Olympic 2012 opening ceremony but had to be paid a token money so they can sign a contract  with London 2012 organisers, the Evening Standard reports.


Emeli Sande, who sang a version of the hymn Abide with Me, said: "I got paid £1 for my work. It’s there in print and I know because I signed the contract myself. Mind you, I haven’t received anything yet!"
