It shocks and saddens me to think that anyone would do such a thing, let alone anyone connected with Glastonbury Festival: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-32929196

How on Earth did you find anything on the BBC newspage that wasn't FIFA related?

Perhaps BBC changed their minds?

Assume it's this, death threats aimed at Emily Eavis due to booking Kanye.

Some people are just plain mental.

Too slow. No fro-yo fo yo!

[T-Mouse]

I'm assuming it's about EE's death threats?

Sickening, pathetic individuals who no doubt have been nowhere near the Glastonbury festival site. Probably outraged they won't be able to watch a Saturday night headliner they want from their armchairs. Low lives with no worth whatsoever

[Winslow Leach]

Freeze peach tho, innit?

It could be from some jealous West Coast rappers - I would not mess with em

Compton

Inglewood

Weston Supermare

We live in the age of the keyboard warrior.
Cowardly c**ts who sit behind screens and try to make up for their own pathetic shortcomings by trolling and abusing others.

Social media, like any society, has its fair share of scum.

In the case of online sites, it's often pubescent reprobates with the social skills of a honey badger.

I doubt Emily was too bothered (or at least I hope that's the case).

This. It'll just be some sad twats with nothing better to do, sadly Twitter is awash with this sort of shite.

Again its just idiots who've never been to the festival, in terms of headliners, booking The Who should of been far more controversial than Kanye. But people are idiots.

I think it would have been less of a big deal if Kanye West wasn't announced first.

Next to 2 more "acceptable" headliners (The Foos and The Who) it doesn't seem like much of a big deal now. But at the time some of the more impressionable people were probably thinking: "Christ, it's gonna be Kanye, Taylor Swift, and Justin Bieber headlining! NOOOOO!".

[STEVEYBOY]

Interesting 130,000 signed the petition against Kanye performing which is about how many punters there will be at Glastonbury. That tells me most of those who signed probably are not even going to the festial this year

Kanye wasn't the first...

[Wanderlei]

Kanye wasn't the first...

If true, I retract my statement and pronounce it bullshit.

[chewsavedlatin]

Yeah Kayne was second, and he's the best headliner.

The Foo's play every festival known to man for the past 20 years, seriously if you like the Foo Fighters and haven't seen them live what are you doing with your life?

The Who are a bunch of old men who haven't made an album for interest for 40 years and played the festival quite recently.

Kayne was a coup and anyone who thinks otherwise is probably some who doesn't go to festivals or gigs yet thinks glastonbury is about white boys with guitars.

Nah, it still makes sense.

[Wanderlei]

Nah, it still makes sense.

Not so much.

But either way, it doesn't justify death threats. It almost does, but not quite lol.

Apols, yes.

I think that's a common misconception. It's more likely to be some loudmouths on Twitter with a thousand followers that don't realise the severity of saying "ughh go kill yourself rn" on social media or something than some stereotypical basement dweller.
