Shakira "so happy" to be at Glastonbury

Shakira has said that she is happy to be playing at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

The 'She Wolf' singer will perform on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, June 26 at the event in Pilton, Somerset.

In an interview by festival co-organiser Emily Eavis, Shakira told The Guardian: "I know that Glastonbury is one of the most famous and popular musical festivals in Europe, if not the world, and I'm so happy to be a part of its 40th anniversary.

"I understand that you donate about £2m every year to charity, and that's pretty amazing, and it was also one of the reasons that it was so appealing to me to be a part of this. I know that you are socially aware and that makes a tremendous difference to me. I hope I don't disappoint!"

She added: "They'll probably have to pull me by the hair and put me in the car! I know I'm not going to want to leave. And I heard that Gorillaz is performing, right? I love Gorillaz. And Muse. That's some of my favourite bands for sure.

"The xx are also going to be playing and I just collaborated with them on an album of covers of their own music. I covered 'Islands', which is one of my favourite songs right now."
