Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis has revealed the festivals plans to honour the late, great David Bowie.
It's been a big day for Glastonbury news. Not only have they revealed that PJ Harvey will be performing, but they've dropped the clue that all three headliners are British, Foo Fighters won't be performing and that the full line-up will be revealed in April.
Fans had already started planning a 'mass singalong' in memory of The Thing White Duke, and now festival boss Michael Eavis has revealed that Glasto will be putting on a pretty special tribute of their own - by screening his legendary headline set from 2000 in full.
"Yes, we're doing a film of his set from the year 2000," Eavis told Radio X. "It's going to be shown on one of the screens when the stages are shut down. We'll show the entire set."
Bowie headlined Glastonbury sixteen years ago in 2000, 30 years after he turned up at the second ever festival on foot and played for free for 6,000 attendees.
Lady Gaga paid tribute to David Bowie at the Grammys this week, inviting the scorn of his son who slammed it as 'mentally confused'. Nile Rodgers then spoke out to defend the performance.
This week saw Coldplay announced to headline Glasto on the Sunday night - inspiring a mixed reaction from music fans, as they become the first band in history to top the bill for a fourth time. Muse, Adele and Radiohead all among the rumoured names for the remaining headliners.
In other Glastonbury news, they recently announced that the legendary John Peel Tent will be moved, and when tickets will go on re-sale.
