Glastonbury head honcho Michael Eavis has today revealed that Prince became “really upset” with Glastonbury organisers over “social media rumours”.

Despite being heavily linked with the Saturday headline slot at this year’s festival, which has since been filled by Metallica, Prince fans will seemingly be unable to catch their hero perform live at Glastonbury due to issues regarding social media. In an interview with The Guardian, Eavis revealed that though a point had been reached at which they were able to discuss the possibility of Prince performing at the festival, talks broke down due to “all the social media chit-chat now about who might be playing”.

Eavis continued by addressing the leaking of acts, disputing the belief that the festival advertises certain acts early because “there’d be no point to us leaking details because the tickets sell out in an hour in October, before the headline acts are announced. People come for what the event means to them, not the headline acts.”

However, The Sun today featured a piece which suggested that Prince appearing at Glastonbury may not be entirely off the cards. However, other reports including a definitive statement from festival-runner Emily Eavis would suggest that Prince is most definitely not going to be taking to the Pyramid Stage any time soon.
