He commented: “I performed at Westminster Cathedral. [There was] a lot of tension going on at that period of time.”

The singer-songwriter continued: “Harry and Meghan were there. I went to sing for the Commonwealth celebrations.”

The Grammy Award nominee added: “I always talk about how music is healing and a form of therapy. I could feel it cut through. There was a part where Harry looked up, Meghan looked up, I felt it really landed in their hearts.”
