kalifire Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Is there any scope for this, do you think? I still can't listen to his voice without a tear in my eye, and I'd love there to be some kind of Glastonbury tribute. I've always thought he'd be an amazing Sunday/legend headliner and I'd love to think there'd be a space for him at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor did Prince, other than fucking them about in private and slagging them off in public. There will almost certainly be a DJ set of George Michael stuff this year.

The fact he didn't play there hasn't got any relationship to the impact he'll have had on lots of people who attend. His influence in inarguable. It'd be nice to have some kind of tribute that's all I'm saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be nice to recognise him but surely not to the level of people such as Bowie. Maybe a Wham singalong in the Tiny Tea Tent. Edited March 12, 2017 by Pink_Tequila Added question mark!

simian_mobile_mushrooms Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yeah without a doubt Micheals had less influence than Prince and Bowie overall. Should we also expect to see tributes to Cohen, Lemmy, Phife Dawg etc? Just can't see it. Not that I'm saying he shouldn't be remembered, I just can't see something special happening at the fest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some of his songs will be played over the weekend by dj's, I'll be surprised if there's many covers. I dunno, I'm not dismissing his talent, he was obviously a great song writer. I'm just not sure why he needs a tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ach, I thought one of those would come back and bite me in the arse. But still, he had played the festival recently, was probably still a bigger influence on people that GM, but yuo know what I mean. If some bands/singers want to dedicate a song to him or cover one of his hits that's fair enough but the festival can't keep rolling out tributes left right and centre.

russycarps Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Out of all the people who've died since the last festival, I wouldn't put George Michael near the top of the list of warranting a tribute Surely the person who has topped 'greatest ever Glastonbury sets' lists is more deserving for a start. But I suspect they'll get naff all Edited March 12, 2017 by russycarps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezshields Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Elton John with a hit-filled set culminating with Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me / big screen footage of JM or even Lady GaGa doing his part.
