Just when you thought the furore around Kanye West headlining Glastonbury couldn't get any more absurd, someone has gone and launched a petition to have him replaced with Alan Partridge. Aha!
A petition to have Kanye pulled from Glasto completely has since gained over 30,000 signatures, with organiser Neil Lonsdale writing "Thanks for signing my petition, but for this to really make an impact, I need you to share it where you can! The Eavis family do great work, but this egotistical, maniacal, disgrace was a clear oversight."
We since interviewed him and he revealed that he's never been to Glastonbury.
Either way, the petition fever continues - with a new one launched to have Yeezy replaced with none other than Steve Coogan's comedy icon, Alan Patridge. This comes after tens of thousands signed for him to replace Jeremy Clarkson as Top Gear presenter.
"If Kanye West is not "suitable" for Glastonbury, the only solution for fans of "real" "music" is to get Alan Partridge to headline the Pyramid Stage on the Saturday night (for some reason)," writes the author. "His 90-minute set will be comprised entirely of him driving a reasonably priced car around the stage. There will be no encores."
Hopefully Glasto can lay on something a little better than a Mini Metro. Spice World. Either way, we'd watch him play bass for hours - it would be hotter than the sun:
Glastonbury takes place at Worthy Farm in Somerset from 24-28 June. Kanye is confirmed to headline alongside Foo Fighters, with Courtney Barnett, Father John Misty and Lionel Richie also revealed.
Other rumoured acts to headline include Queen, Taylor Swift, Elton John, Paul McCartney and more. See the full list of rumours below.
