NEVER
Couldn't actually agree more with Brian on this one, Michael Eavis comes across as such a prick. "Not our kind of thing", "disagree over badgers", what an arse. Stick to your word and make good money elsewhere, nowhere near this pathetic English swamp.

Michael has proven to be a complete bell end.
I wouldn't want to see this lot there anyway. Can you imagine that person being the singer at a Queen gig at Glastonbury?
Not Queen anyway. Just Brian and Roger with their tribute band.
He seems like a pretty bizarre person: an utterly reactionary farmer, but also a radical Corbynist Labour-supporter. That seems kinda schizoid. Also, I can see how people might not want to deal with someone as abrasive as Eavis. Having said that, I also get the impression that Brian is *really* thin-skinned.
It seems like there was some back and forth and Miami possibly approached the organisers only to get rejected. Brian obviously got the hump and looks like he demands an apology now.
Having said that, I can't see them over there either. Would have been an embarrassment. I'm pretty sure Freddie would break Lambert's neck if he saw what he's up to.

I've never liked Eavis or his moronic family.
I feel bad now. Sorry :(
Glad Queen + tool are not doing Glastonbury, Lambert would be a bigger tool than what he is now in his freaky trans / gay what am i costumes?
I agree wi' Moogie. I'd be mightily embarrassed to have this 'Queen' abhorrition on show at such a massive event.
Glastonbury is somewhat of a joke these days anyway.
I think it's a real shame that Queen aren't going to be at Glastonbury anytime soon because playing there will do so many great things to their legacy and album sales - in the UK it will probably have the same effect as the movie.
True. This place is much better since the movie attracted more new fans.
Playing Glastonbury is part of Brian's ongoing attempt to make "Brian May's Queen" bigger than the original Queen. Meanwhile no new music as it doesn't sell without Fred's voice.
"Brian May's Queen"
New and original material! Can't wait! Sounds ace!
