Chris Martin encouraging him to play the headline slot.

 

Speaking to today's Observer newspaper, 70-year-old Jagger said: "It's not your stage and it's not your crowd per se – people have bought their tickets before any acts have been announced. I know U2 didn't have the best of nights [in 2011], although the weather didn't help."

 

Jagger asked for Bono's advice on whether the Stones should appear, while Chris Martin wrote him a letter listing the reasons why the group should. "Chris was very sweet. The truth is, though, that they'd never actually asked us – and the first time they did, we said yes."

 

The Stones man and festival veteran who will become a great grandfather next year is currently working on a film about Elvis Presley, based on the Peter Guralnick book Last Train to Memphis.

 

"There's a Taschen book of the journey that Elvis took from Memphis to New York to sing Hound Dog on TV in 1956, and in every picture he just looks so super glamorous."

 

Jagger added that he never met Presley: "No. John Lennon told me not to."

 

 

Thought it was interesting.. :D

Wow, that´s great:cool:

Ooooouuuuh I wanna read that letter :wideeyed:

 

I bet it's something like:

 

"~* Reasons why The Rolling Stones should perform at Glastonbury *~

• You're awesome
  
• Glastonbury is awesome and the crowd is really really cool
  
• Glastonbury will love you and if they don't I'll be there clapping
  
• I love you
  
• You need to hear You Can't Always Get What You Want or (I can't get no) Satisfaction with that crowd
  
• It's one of my biggest dreams
  
• Jonny loves you too
  
• But I love you the most
  

 

Looking forward to seeing you there,

 

Love,
