Kanye West to play the Glastonbury music festival

Kanye West is set to play the Glastonbury music festival.
The 'Love Lockdown' star is planning to make a guest appearance with protege
Mr. Hudson at the world-famous British music event in June - even though he
doesn't believe rappers should perform at the festival.
Mr. Hudson - whose new album 'Straight No Chaser' was co-produced by Kanye -
told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "We're going to do the festivals together
and we're looking forward to that.
"Glastonbury will be huge. Kanye doesn't really do mud or rain but I hope he
will be with me. I think there's a good chance."
Kanye - whose close pal Jay-Z controversially topped the bill at Glastonbury
last year - confirmed he is hoping to perform at the Somerset event, even
though he believes only rock acts should be booked.
He said: "We've toured together a lot so it's a real possibility.
"I do agree with the idea you have to play guitar or some other kind of
instrument at a festival. Hudson is a truly talented singer and performer
who plays guitar and piano.
"You can take his record all the way to the festivals."
Kanye is a keen supporter of British music and after helping Estelle revive
her career with their hit 'American Boy' last year, he is keen to work with
more UK acts.
He explained: "I've always liked the UK and I've always taken a lot of my
style and energy from the UK and UK bands.
"This is my way of giving something back by supporting these artists. I will
definitely have a place in the UK eventually."
