PapaBentley Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 good question, I am recalling that someone said there was lot going on behind the scenes as the Who were booked to preform in Paris, and then cancelled it for glasto.

verrymerry Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 They did indeed cancel their Paris gig to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I was told they were definitely going for Prince, but I think the plug was pulled as it was proving impossible to get the deal done, Prince being Prince (This is from a close associate of Eavis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Lawn Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thread title says Saturday last year. Actually means Sunday this year. Unbelievable bit of false advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Thread title says Saturday last year. Actually means Sunday this year. Unbelievable bit of false advertising. Well, the answer 'Prince led them on and bailed' works with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 According to Neil, Prince pulled out of Glastonbury the year I first met Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy0808 v5 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Chris martins supergroup 'LukeWarm Work' pulled out last minute so the festival turned to a 5ft 4 bloke in a purple suit who smells his own farts to headline but he believed the festival was whoring money by using his name. In the end Michael went to Pilton Retirement home and got some old codgers to play the pyramid stage Sunday night, FairPlay to them as well, they put a good show on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBarbour Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 ...it was time for The Who to close out the festival weekend, starting again just as the sun was setting. (Not many know that we were a last-months addition to the show, replacing Prince who decided not to come this year.) http://thewho.com/28-june-2015-glastonbury-festival-worthy-farm-somerset/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 http://thewho.com/28-june-2015-glastonbury-festival-worthy-farm-somerset/ Cool read that! Not related but I found this interesting: A few years ago, we did very, very well during the 12/12/12 concert, and the band received tons of great touring offers just after – all were rejected at the time. And following this Glastonbury show, the similar offers have come in – everyone now realizing The Who are still possibly that great live band everyone remembers. Even at a rough one like this! It was truly mayhem at times, and looked like a war zone when people weren’t dancing as far as the eye can see. Some serious magic did happen despite all the struggle. A band like The Who still able to use Glastonbury to get more touring offers?! You wouldn't really think of promoters sitting around, not thinking about if they are open to touring.

ghostdancer1 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Prince would have had to have been IN to pull out.it sounds more like Glastonbury didn't have anything signed and were in talks with him and then either he decided that he didn't want to do it, or Glastonbury panicked and ended negotiations and went for The Who and Paul Weller as they had no other Plan B.can't blame them if they thought they might get him signed off, but they probably shouldn't have left it so late, or had a strong sub lined up to play on Sunday if it didn't work out.

Also in the mix, I think, is the anti-Kayne petition, where something said has suggested (I don't know for certain) that it freaked the mauve midget moron out.

Padgey Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 How can the little plum s**t even suggest Glastonbury are using his name when they have already sold all their tickets! Not sure who's ego is bigger his or Kanye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Glastonbury like to have the contracts signed by the New Year . They were prob beyond that in 2014 as Metallica did admit they were not the first choice And the same this year , they could not hang around for ever waiting for a signature so had to look at the alternatives that were suitable and available and that was The Who .
