Not that he was ever really in contention, but just heard on the news that Ozzy Osborne has quit touring.

Again?

I think this time it's for real.  He hasn't really recovered from his recent spinal surgery so touring is definitely out of the question for him.  He might still do an occasional gig, health permitting but for now he's out of action

So, it was the 25th anniversary of Jagged Little Pill earlier this year, so would Alanis Morrisettè fit the bill? Proper 90's legend and seems to be doing the odd festival this year.

I think 90’s female popstars are a rich seam the festival need to try and mine for this slot, there are plenty of names that will keep them going for a while. Aside from the likes of Beyoncé and Madonna, there are quite a few that fit the brief of being big but couldn’t headline, and have the hits.

Brandi Carlisle, who sometimes guests with Elton.

Her Hyde Park gig is one of my very favourites ever 

Same. So bloody special.

It was an absolute one off though. She doesn't tour and admitted that doing that one show was a stretch vocally.

Yeah, just seen it pop up on Twitter. Won't lie, feel bad about being flippant now.

So glad I got to see him with Sabbath in 2016.

Think you've conflated Brandi Carlile with Belinda Carlilse

Auto correction on spelling,  it’s Carlile I meant! 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Either way.....

I figured that, but what I'm saying is Brandi Carlile is a 2000's artist who does stuff with Elton John, but Belinda Carlisle is the 80s into 90s popstar with big hits.

Again it'll be a miracle if any Ozzy shows go ahead

All cancelled finally. Dunno why it took them so long to officially announce, they've known for months at this point. 

All the best to him.

Someone at Glasto HQ needs to give this man a call before its too late.

 

And Derek Trucks while theyre at it.

Sydney Youngblood is actually more likely

I'd imagine he's one of those "not for that low a fee"

Seems the type

It's not though really, is it? 

The bloke literally inspired an anti-racist movement in Rock Against Racism. Why would the festival want to go near him

Yeah they need to call him up  and say "can you f*ck off...now can you f*ck off a bit further..." 

I heard Paul Sinha on the radio a while back talking about how Clapton should do the right thing with this song credit, seeing as her contribution is so famous due to Goodfellas, yet the credit was stolen and given to her wife beater ex boyfriend, who later went on to become a murderer.
