Eavis turns down Gilmour for Glasto?

Michael Eavis turned down Dave Gilmour's offer to play Glastonbury, say reports.

The festival organiser apparently snubbed the Pink Floyd frontman, claiming that Gilmour's music wouldn't appeal to a young audience.

A source told The Sun: "Dave has always had a soft spot for Glastonbury. He’s got a window in his touring plans and thought he’d contact Michael about performing.

"And while Michael was grateful for the offer he turned it down. He wants the event to appeal to a younger generation and feels that Dave wouldn’t."

Gilmour's former bandmate Roger Waters played the festival in 2002, performing hits from Floyd's classic LP Dark Side Of The Moon.

Glastonbury takes place from June 27 to 29. It is headlined by Kings of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve.
