Former Rotorua entertainer Turanga Merito has been given the nod to be part of the Stan Walker line-up to open for superstar Beyonce in Sydney.
The excited back-up vocalist told the Rotorua Daily Post yesterday he wouldn't be able to contain himself if he met Beyonce in person.
"I am absolutely ecstatic, I can't believe it, actually," Merito said about opening for Beyonce during three concerts this week in Sydney.
"I have known for a few weeks now but it only really hit home today. I put on Single Ladies this morning and I was screaming around the house."
The former Rotorua Lakes High School head boy flew into Sydney yesterday to begin rehearsals before the first concert tomorrow.
