Simon Cowell has announced that he will be attending this year’s Glastonbury festival to watch his good old friend Shakin Stevens perform live. It’s said that Simon has bought tickets for the music event so he can see the 80s British rocker take to the stage.
A source said that “Simon has always respected anyone’s ability to achieve commercial music success. In the 80s no one was better than Shakin’ Stevens.”
Shakin Stevens whose real name is Michael Barratt has said that he is not surprise that Simon will witness arguably the biggest show of his career. Shakin Stevens said that “We were great friends in the 80s. Simon loved all the stuff I was making at the time.”
It’s said that he will open on the second day of the event, which takes place over the weekend of the 27th and 29th June.
The main stage headliners have been confirmed as Kings of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve. And as we know Jay-Z has caused quite a stir amongst other stars. Are you like Simon a Shakin Stevens fan I know that I used to like his music.
