Various rumours and reports had claimed that the glam legend was considering returning to Worthy Farm for the 40^th anniversary of the event.

But a message on Bowie’s website says: “Sadly, there is absolutely no substance to this story.” Dave last hit the Glasto stage in 2000.

Chatshow king Jonathan Ross meanwhile has revealed that Muse are “probably doing it.”

According to a recent Tweet that’s what Matt Bellamy told him when the three-piece appeared on his show.

U2 are currently the only act confirmed for the event which takes place next June.
