Sam Ryder wants to perform a duet with Mickey Mouse. The 35-year-old singer - who shot to fame when he represented the UK in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest with the song 'Space Man' - performed 'Viva La Musique' in front ofthe Sleeping Beauty castle during the launch of Disney Music Festival on behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation at Disneyland Paris, and revealed that he wants to take to the stage with the company's famous mascot. He said: "It was amazing. Honestly, just to perform in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle – I mean, I just found out there's a dragon sleeping underneath it! We probably woke her up because we were all buzzing. I'm just so stoked. It was a dream.. "It's mad. I've lost count of how many shows I've played over the years, but I never thought I'd be singing in front of this iconic castle at Disneyland Paris with kids from Make-A-Wish. That's one for the memory books — truly special.. "Dream duet? "Probably Mickey Mouse. I was completely starstruck when he joined us at the end of the performance — the most starstruck I've ever been!" The 'Tiny Riot' hitmaker helped mark the official launch of the Disney Music Festival - which is now running now until 7 September -and was timed to celebrate the annual World Wish Day. Sam performed alongside Eve Wilson, aged 16, from the South Coast of England, who is undergoing treatment for a brain tumour, as well as nine-year-old Molly Townsend-Blazier, from Kent, who was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukaemia on her sixth birthday. Jax Morris, nine, from North Ayrshire, Scotland, was diagnosed at age two with a life-threatening blood disease and had to undergo through a bone marrow transplant, and was also on stage. The quartet was completed by Habiba Konate Naim, aged 13, from Greater London, who has Williams Syndrome and underwent a life-saving kidney transplant. Jason Suckley, CEO of Make-A-Wish UK, said: 'This was so much more than a performance – it was a moment where hope and joy took centre stage. Wishes have the power to transform lives, and seeing these children shine alongside Sam Ryder at Disneyland Paris was the perfect way to celebrate World Wish Day. We're incredibly grateful to Sam and everyone else involved for helping to create memories these families will treasure forever.' Disney and Make-A-Wish have worked together for 45 years, granting over 165,000 wishes around the world – and with more than 20,000 wishes that have been granted at Disneyland Paris since opening in 1992, bringing moments of hope, joy, and strength to children and their families when they need it most.
