Daniel Bedingfield Leaves Fans In The Dark

The Evening Standard reports the high-profile launch of the Regent Street Christmas lights in London suffered an embarrassing hitch Thursday night when the 8,000 bulb display failed to turn on, finally lighting up after twenty minutes. About 10,000 shoppers had gathered to see singer Daniel Bedingfield illuminate the capital’s most stylish shopping street. Millions more were watching the event being broadcast live on BBC1.
