Insiders told us that they suspect he will agree to let just a handful of songs to go out on TV and BBC iPlayer after he pulled out of the festival earlier this year over concerns about the BBC’s «corporate control».
He said: «We were told that BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in. It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being.»
