Jeers in heaven: Clapton to headline Glastonbury
disnews by DiS News February 18th, 2005
Man of interesting past, Eric Clapton, is to headline Glastonbury in 2007, according to a report on C4’s (very good) teletext site, Planet Sound.

Apparently, old Slow Hands phoned Michael Eavis to ask if he could perform this year, but with the bill already booked, Clapton’s had to settle for a slot the next time the festival takes place. The site is to take next year off in order to generally ‘sort itself out’. Speaking of the former Cream man, Michael Eavis said "Eric's a favourite of mine, he'll be brilliant."

Blimey.
