I know, just pause and re-read that headline again.

But it's true!

Shirely Bassey, pushing ninety, sporting chicken wings and the only person on site wearing diamante, ROCKED Glastonbury.

Festivalgoer Greg Burke said: “I could barely believe it myself and I saw it with my own eyes. I’ve always hated her as well. But with the full band it was ace! Though I did shudder a bit (and so did everyone around me) when she ran her hand up her split-to-the-thigh dress during ‘The Lady Is A Tramp’.”

Admittedly it’s not the first time Glastonbury organisers have braved some oddness on one of the main stages. 2002 was a particularly ripe year, with both Mis-Teeq and Rolf Harris gracing the event. And Van Morrison brought his unique brand of Celticity (is that a word?) to the Pyramid stage in 2005.

It has got me thinking though: where on earth do Michael and Emily Eavis go from here? Charlotte Church? S Club Juniors? Timmy Mallett and Bombalurina? I’m sure I won’t be the only one scanning the 2009 line up for weirdness as soon as it gets released – it’s SO much more fun than bitching about the headliners.
