Start speculating orgers...

Ok I hate to start the specualtion months in advance, and in all reality it probably wont happen but what do you think the chances are of Prince headlining glastonbury this year?

Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis says he has booked "a black American headliner" and apparently Prince is in the running..

Who is he? The pint-sized purple purveyor of pop, who spent a majestic 21 nights at London's O2 arena last year.

Festival form: Prince tends to play his own concerts, but after more than 30 years on stage he would have very little trouble getting the Glastonbury crowd on their feet.

Crowd-pleasing anthem: He rehearsed 150 songs for his O2 residency, with greatest hits like Purple Rain and Raspberry Beret interspersed with more recent tracks like Musicology.

Will he play Glastonbury: Michael Eavis has spoken of his attempts to get Prince to the festival before, but his desire to attract younger audiences could rule the rock legend out of the running.

What you guys think, I would be oh so jealous if this came off..
Oh Princey if your free for a couple of hours...If you aint busy for the next 7 years...Lets Pretend were married, and go all night..

I doubt its Prince, they said they are trying to attract a younger audience so I doubt very much its him..it will be some tedious rapper.

it aint Prince. The geezer has slated the artist from New York.

I reckon its either Kanye, Jay-Z or Alicia Keys
I got more hits than Madonna's got kids!

I think Kanye is the obvious choice and it probably will be him, I just cant see a rapper headlining the main stage of a saturday night-I think it would be amazing if Prince did it.

I would be very surprised if Prince agreed to do Glastonbury and as much as I love him I wouldn't go see him as I wouldn't be seen dead at Glastonbury (I don't think Prince would either to be honest).
