Lennon 'shocked' by Springsteen booking

Sean Lennon has said that he is surprised that Bruce Springsteen has been booked to headline the Pyramid Stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

The musician son of Yoko Ono and late Beatle John Lennon told The Sun that he did not think the rocker fitted in with past headliners.

Lennon said: "It's shocking. I’ve been to a few Glastos in my time, I've even played a few, and it just didn't seem like that was the kind of artist they had headlining.

"I heard they called him and he didn't even know what it was."

However, regarding another main stage topper, he added: "I love Neil Young, I feel like he's one of the only people who managed to stay cool the whole time, which is really hard, isn't it?"
