Jay-Z Camp Rattled By Response To Glastonbury Appearance

Glastonbury organisers have once again defended the decision to book Jay-Z as a headliner for this year’s festival but have admitted that rapper’s camp have been ‘rattled’ by the public’s response.

Emily Eavis told the Guardian that they are sticking by the decision despite it being a “curve ball” for some of its regular punters.

Denying that Jay-Z had ever considered pulling out she said: "I think his team are thinking: what's going on here? What is this reaction?”

She added: "We have lost some fairweather friends, yes. We've made a bit of a curveball decision.

"But we feel we've made a really important decision and we're absolutely going to stick by it because we think it's going to be amazing."
