Glastonbury festival snubs David Gilmour’s offer to play
The Pink Floyd star was keen to perform at the annual music extravaganza,
but organiser Michael Eavis reportedly told him he wasn’t interested.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Dave has always had a soft spot
for Glastonbury. He has a window in his touring plans and thought he would
contact Michael about performing. And while Michael was grateful for the
offer he turned it down. He wants the event to appeal to a younger
generation and feels that Dave wouldn’t.”
The line-up at this year’s Glastonbury has been heavily criticized, with the
event failing to sell out as it has in recent years.
The lukewarm response has been blamed on the appearance of US rapper Jay-Z,
who has proved to be a controversial choice as headliner.
