So, this is what Michael Flatley has to say about Trump’s inauguration

Michael Flatley has broken his silence on Lord of the Dance performing at the US presidential election today in Washington DC.

The dancing troupe will take to the stage this evening at the Liberty Ball as Donald Trump becomes the 45th US president.

And while Michael won't be up there doing a jig himself, he told the Irish Independent that it is "a great honour" for him.

“We have performed for many presidents. It is always a great honour to be asked.

“This is a very special night and it is a great honour to be invited to be part of it.”
