Morrison 'almost cancelled Glastonbury'
James Morrison has revealed that he almost pulled out of Glastonbury after learning Michael Jackson had died.

Speaking to The Sun, the 'Please Don't Stop The Rain' singer said that he was "devastated" by the death.

"I'm still in total shock," he admitted. "I'm performing tonight and don't feel up to it at all."

He added: "It's taken the spirit out of me completely. I knew this day would come and that I'd be devastated but I'm even more upset that it's come so much sooner than I ever expected. No words can truly convey how much he inspired me as an artist."
