Snoop Dogg has been approached over appearing at this year’s Glastonbury, organiser Michael Eavis has confirmed.

Eavis’s daughter Emily, who also suggested asking Jay-Z to headline the famous event in 2008, came up with the idea, though nothing is confirmed.

Eavis explained: “She’s a bright girl and she is very keen on Snoop Dogg doing the show, so we want him.”

This year’s event marks the 40th anniversary of the festival and will take place between Friday 25th and Sunday 27th June.

U2, Muse and Stevie Wonder are this year’s headliners.

Liam Gallagher has explained why he did not credit brother Noel in his acceptance speech at last month’s Brit Awards.

Gallagher mentioned everyone else who worked on ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory’ when picking up the Best Album of 30 Years award at the ceremony but not the main songwriter.

He said: “I’m sick of it all being about me and Noel.

“The last couple of months has pretty much been all about me and him so I thought it was only right to mention the other lads who played on the album and the best fans in the world.”

Gallagher threw the award to the crowd at the end of his speech, but insisted that this was not an offensive gesture.

He added: “I thought it was a nice gesture to give this to the fans. Obviously it was misinterpreted as per usual.”

Gallagher is working on solo material at the moment, his first since Oasis split last summer.

Finally, James have revealed details of their new album.

‘The Night Before’, a seven-track mini-album, will be released on April 19th and is their first work since 2008’s ‘Hey Ma’.

The band will begin a UK tour in April and will also feature at this year’s Isle of Wight Festival.

‘The Night Before’s’ tracklisting is:
‘It’s Hot’
‘Crazy’
‘Ten Below’
‘Porcupine’
‘Shine’
‘Dr Hellier’
‘Hero’
