Sean Lennon 'Shocked' At Bruce Springsteen Headlining Glastonbury

The Boss isn't the right kind of act, he claims...

John Lennon and Yoko Ono's son Sean says he is “shocked” that Bruce Springsteen is headlining Glastonbury.

The 33-year-old musician believes The Boss is 'uncool' and he should not be playing the prestigious Saturday night slot.

He tells The Sun: "It's shocking. I have been to Glastonbury a few times, I've even played a few, and it just didn't seem like that was the kind of artist they had headlining. I heard they called him and he didn't even know what it was."

However, Sean had kinder words for Bruce's fellow music veteran and Friday night headliner, Neil Young, who he believes is still “cool.”

Lennon continues: "I love Neil Young. I feel like he's one of the only people who has managed to stay cool the whole time, which is really hard."

  • Agreed. I'm going to get off my tits in the Green Fields on Saturday night instead of watching Springsteen

  • Since when did Sean Lennon become the "decider" of "cool"?

  • Sean needs to shut up. Bruce has been an advocate to stop this illegal war that the United States started. If I am not mistaken, John Lennon would have admired what Bruce has done. Neil Young's view on the war is also of the same. So what is Sean's problem? Taking the headlines from him? This is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love ya Sean but shut the F up. Great music is great music. Some hated McCartney playing Coachella but he was GREAT.

  • Tell Sean to fuck off. When he will have made great songs such as Bruce, then he could talk. If it was not for the money that John Lennon has left to them, we would not hear any more from Sean & Yoko.
