Glastonbury deny Jay-Z rumours
Eavis says the rapper isn't about to pull out
07 April 2008
According to an article in The Sun the New York rapper is displeased that organisers used him as a promotion
to attract a younger audience to the festival.
The star is also said to be annoyed by the suggestions that he is
to blame for the drop in registrants this year and by the way his image has been perceived on certain Internet messageboards.
However Michael Eavis, who will be personally introducing Jay-Z
on stage, has confirmed that the rapper will still headline the Saturday night. He told the paper: "I spoke to his
people this weekend. Everything is fine. I’m excited."
Tickets for this year’s festival went
on sale yesterday, but so far only 100,000 weekend tickets have been snapped up. In previous years the event has sold
