Neil Young has been confirmed as a headliner at this year’s Glastonbury – despite saying he was dropping out due to the BBC’s involvement in the festival.
The 79-year-old musician wrote on his website earlier this week that both he and his band, The Chrome Hearts, were pulling out because the BBC’s involvement was a « corporate turn-off ».
He has now said in a statement that this decision was down to « an error in the information I received ».
Emily Eavis, the organiser of the festival, posted on Instagram on Friday: « Neil Young is an artist who’s very close to our hearts at Glastonbury.
« He does things his own way and that’s why we love him.
« We can’t wait to welcome him back here to headline the Pyramid in June. »
