One of the music industry’s biggest legends said to play Glastonbury 2017

Okay, so this is MAJOR.

Start saving for Glastonbury 2017.

It might sound a bit ridiculous considering it’s a year away but considering the one and only DIANA ROSS has reportedly signed up, you’ll want to be there.

According to reports today, Barry Gibb revealed the news while he was backstage at this year’s Glastonbury festival.

The Bee Gees legend brought the house down closing this year’s show when he performed the classic Stayin’ Alive on stage with Coldplay.

When asked if he would return for 2017, The Sun reports Barry said:

“Next year it’s Diana Ross. I don’t know where I’m going to fit.”

That’s not all either as the legend himself is rumoured to make a comeback next year too.

He attended the O2 Nordoff-Robbins Silver Clef Awards this year and spoke of how the festival’s organisers, Michael Eavis and his daughter Emily, want him back for the second year running.

“The people there were very kind to me and suggested a show perhaps next year. I would love to return to Glastonbury”.

However, it may be tough to fit the music event into his schedule as he’s likely to be touring, adding:

“But if it’s not next year, it will be the year after, as I’ll be on the road anyway”.

The only surviving Bee Gee is gearing up to release his solo album In The Now, his first in over three decades.

If the reports are to be believed, not one, but two absolute music legends will own the stage at next year’s Glastonbury.
