Brian May has shot down any suggestion that Queen might grace a Glastonbury festival stage when the event returns in 2027.
The world-famous British festival has seen the likes of Guns N' Roses, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and Paul McCartney headline in recent years, but Brian May doesn't foresee Queen at Worthy Farm any time soon.
The guitarist told the Daily Mail, "I wouldn't do Glastonbury next year because of the politics of the people who run it, unless that changes, I won't do it. They like killing badgers, and they think it's for sport and that's something I cannot support because we've been trying to save these badgers for years, and they are still being killed for years, so that's the reason we're missing out on it."
May is a committed animal rights activist, and he founded the Save Me Trust in 2010 to campaign against fox hunting and badger culling.
Asked by the Daily Mail if Queen had regularly turned down invitations to play Glastonbury, May responded, "I don't think the conversation of us doing has ever taken place because they know how I feel."
