Jay-Z To Get Eavis Introduction At Glastonbury Festival

It has been reported that Jay-Z only agreed to headline at the Glastonbury Festival this summer after the organiser Michael Eavis offered to personally introduce him on stage.

Michael Eavis was forced to break Glastonbury tradition to secure Jay-Z. Michael said that “I was discussing it (the headline slot) with Jay-Z and his manager. They were slightly worried about the audience not being a London or Birmingham urban crowd. I said, ‘OK, I’ll do something that I haven’t done for the entire 38 year history of the festival - I’ll take you on stage and introduce you to the audience.’ And he (Jay-Z) said, ‘Michael, I’ll do your show’.”

Pete Doherty has been jailed for 14 weeks

Pete Doherty has been jailed for 14 weeks for breaching the terms of his probation. Last year Pete was jailed for 14 months for possessing class A drugs but the sentence was suspended in the hope that he would change his ways. Yesterday the courts finally sent Pete to prison.

Adrian Hunter who is Pete’s manager said that there were many reasons for his sentence yesterday including the fact the singer/songwriter was often late for probation hearings.

Now the question is will he serve the whole sentence or will he be let out in time for the Glastonbury Festival in June?

Do you think that he should serve all 14 weeks?

Drummer Dom Howard said that “I’m looking forward to playing it immensely. We’re working on the show at the moment - seeing if we can work in the big satellites we had at Wembley. We’re hoping to have something above the crowd - we’re not sure what size, but we’re working on it.”
