The Rolling Stones have settled their dispute with the BBC and are now allowing them to broadcast an hour of their set from Glastonbury festival 2013.
It was previously reported that Mick Jagger and co were in 'top level discussions' with the BBC over plans to televise their Glastonbury headline performance, and the band were unhappy with plans to broadcast their set. The Independent reported that the band were in talks with TV bosses after it emerged that the 'Gimme Shelter' rockers only gave permission for the BBC to televise their four opening songs.
Now, speaking to BBC News, festival boss Michael Eavis said: "I think they're all friends now.
"It's taken a long time to get them to come and play. Everyone wants to see the Stones, basically."
He continued: "I think Mick Jagger wanted to play to the people here, rather than a TV show," he added. "They're going to be playing for about an hour for the TV."
The Press Association claim that only those at the festival will see the band's final half hour, complete with an extravagant fireworks finale.

However, Eavis also said that he was concerned the rock icons might prove too popular for the venue, adding: "There might be a problem with the size of the crowd so it's slightly worrying for me, in a way."
As well as their appearance at Glastonbury festival on Sunday 30 June, The Rolling Stones will also perform at Hyde Park in London on 6 and 13 July, 2013. For more information visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
