After Bee Gees member Barry Gibb pulled out of Coldplay’s Glastonbury headline set, the rumour mill has been turning rapidly, fans feverishly predicting who could fill the guest slot.
According to The Daily Star (so take this with a pinch of salt), previous collaborator Rihanna is expected to join the group on the pyramid stage.
A source told the paper: "Rihanna plays London and Coventry over the festival weekend but there's a Glasto-shaped gap in her schedule on Sunday, June 26. You never know.”
Famously, Rihanna teamed up with Chris Martin’s motley crew for the song “Princess of China” on the album Mylo Xyloto, released in 2011.

Also headlining the festival are the likes of Muse and Adele. If you don’t fancy watching any of the above, there are plenty of fantastic other bands playing at the same time, Glastonbury having recently revealed stage timings.
