Chris to appear at Glastonbury with Jay-Z?

[Fixed]

American rapper Jay-Z is set to silence his critics by calling on celeb friends to join him on stage at Glastonbury. TheBuzz hears the newly married star is secretly lining up a performance full of top names to guest star during his gig.

 

At the top of this list is Chris Martin. Jay-Z, 38, has been buddies with the Coldplay singer and wife Gwyneth Paltrow for years and the pair attended his wedding to ­Beyoncé in April.

 

The hip-hop mogul is also pals with the likes of Pharrell Williams, who is in London, Mary J Blige and Mark Ronson. And there’s also talk of him duetting with his wife during his headliner.

 

A spokeswoman for the rapper told theBuzz today: “Jay’s set at Glastonbury will be a surprise and an extravaganza. That’s all I can confirm.” A source added: “He just wants to make it the biggest and best show, particularly after all the controversy surrounding him headlining. “Jay-Z knows he has the best contacts in showbiz and is keen to get friends involved with guest slots. By performing with Chris he’s proving all music can mix.”

 

When it was announced that “Jigga” would be headlining the legendary mud-fest, Noel Gallagher blasted the decision saying: “I’m not having hip hop at Glastonbury.”

 

Jay-Z, in town last night to see Coldplay at a special BBC gig in Shepherd’s Bush, has worked with Chris many times. As the band ran through some of their more classic tracks and songs from their new album Viva La Vida, Jay-Z could be seen dancing along. Chris, 31, helped produce the hip-hop artist’s album Kingdom Come and featured on the track Beach Chair.

Aren't Coldplay in America? Doing the Today show et al.

 

Zane asked them if they'd be watching Glasto and Will said they couldn't because they would be in America.

Yeah I thought the dates would clash. Still, can't beat a rumour or a ridiculous tabloid story hey :D

[CRYSTAL]

i think Coldplay is on their official tour that time doing shows in USA and this time i am so wanted to see them live.If they play in glastonbury i'll be so disappointed that they've not get into US.

 

Even now they've postponed all their dates previously and now please don't do that,this is really unfair for Americans.

 

i really beg Chris like anything than Jay Z to play a show in US so that i can see him than to appear with Jay Z.

 

if he doesn't i understand he doesn't care us at all.:(:cry:
