Eavis books Kanye West for Glastonbury?
Michael Eavis has hinted that he may have booked Kanye West to perform at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

The festival organiser told BBC Points West: "I'm putting on a black American headliner, who’s absolutely terrific."

Eavis said that the mystery performer will appeal to a younger audience that many critics claimed was absent from last year's festival.

West, Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Alicia Keys have all been suggested as possible acts that meet Eavis' description.

On the possibility of Amy Winehouse returning to play the festival for a third time, Eavis commented: "I really, really do need her."
