Glastonbury bosses 'are facing a crisis after talks with potential headliner Stevie Wonder collapse following weeks of wooing'


The legendary musician, 73, who last appeared at the festival in 2010, had been offered the Sunday night headline slot by festival organiser Emily Eavis.

It comes after sources previously revealed that talks with Madonna collapsed after organisers refused to pay the fee to bring her live show to the festival. Earlier this year, Dua found herself embroiled in controversy after she failed to join Sir Elton John on the Glastonbury stage for their duet Cold Heart. Rick Astley, Lil Nas X, Blondie, Lizzo and Aitch were joined by hundreds more performers across the weekend, proving to be an enviable line-up and giving many of those who didn't attend FOMO.
