Elton John to make appearance with Muse?

[AndyH]

Now before I begin, I know this is going to sound tenuous! I recognise it'll sound like absolute bullshit along the lines of my mate's brother's sister's dad's dog's cousin's mate knows someone etc etc but I have no reason to doubt my source so hear me out!

A friend of mine works for a media company and his boss often moves in VIP circles. Last week his boss attended one of the NME Awards after parties and was sat drinking with Matt Bellamy for an hour. During their conversation they discussed Muse's upcoming Glastonbury headline slot and Bellamy revealed to him that they had arranged for Elton John to make an appearance on stage to perform with them during their headline slot.

As I said, I have no reason to doubt this source as I know my friend wouldn't make this up and he says he trusts what his boss says too so there you go. Make what you will out of it but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this happen.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I would rather just a straight up greatest hits from Muse

[rexclark]

I'd like to see Elton, but I wouldn't want to sit through Muse on the off chance he'd appear.

Seems kind of bizarre, why Elton John? Is there something I'm missing here

[dan05delaney]

[ampersand]

why not? mind you Elton has a history of very bizarre and often shit appearances with people. And what on earth would they perform together? Q magazine mentioned Elton as a rumour this month too...hmmn...

I couldn't be less impressed if I found out that Jedward were taking Muse's headline slot.

Elton John...why??

Sounds strange but would be cool to see I guess if it does happen!

Elton John is a prick.

Personally I'd prefer rage to join muse on stage. And would make more sense considering they were muse's favourite band when growing up.

You know, not that this particular combo would tempt me - I'm no Elton fan and would only see Muse if there was nothing else to do - but I was going to start a thread along similar lines about something I thought would be good for the 40th only. That is for say, the last 3 or 4 numbers, the headliners are joined onstage by a previous headliner and they play soem of the previous headliner's songs as a tribute

eg; U2/Bowie closing with Suffragette City, Changes, Space Oddity and Heroes

Muse/Macca closing with Back In The USSR, Sgt Pepper, Live and Let Die, Hey Jude

Not sure who for Stevie (is Macca too obvious and Cheesy?) but I think he would add a lovely funky touch to Motorcycle Emptiness, You Love Us, Motown Junk (cough) and A Design For Life

I think the Live & Let Die suggestion is a beaut (personally)

Liar. Youre watching Sky Arts 1 right now with a load of hankies and buidéal of Aldi gin from the neck.
