Neil Young and the BBC: in Glastonbury the end of the soap opera

The telenovela starring Neil Young and the BBC has a happy ending. The singer -songwriter will perform tonight from Headliner on the Glastonbury stage, the most popular and commented festival in the United Kingdom, and the British television broadcaster will regularly broadcast his show.

At the beginning of the year, after his participation in Glastonbury had already been announced, the 79 -year -old musician surprised all by announcing his retreat from the event. The reason? What he defined as the “excessive interference” of the BBC. “Me and Chrome Hearts we couldn’t wait to play in Glastonbury, one of my favorite outdoor concerts ever. We were told that the BBC is a partner of Glastonbury and he wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we didn’t interest us. It seems that Glastonbury now be under a corporate control and is no longer as I remembered it”, he made you know you, even if you were the requests. BBC.

Time twenty -four hours and Neil Young returned, confirming his presence in Glastonbury: “Due to an error in the information received, I had decided not to play at the Glastonbury Festival, which I have always loved. Fortunately, the festival is again in our itinerary and we can’t wait to play,” he explained.

On the eve of Glastonbury, however, the name of Neil Young did not look, mysteriously, in the schedule of the shows transmitted by the BBC, reopening the lawsuit. Only later did the spokesmen of the British broadcaster explained that it was a “artist’s choice”: it had been Neil Young to explicitly ask the BBC not to spread images and audio of his show. Now, however, it seems that the question has been resolved: The BBC has released a declaration in which it claims to be “happy” to confirm that Young will be included in its schedule. “At the beginning of this week, we communicated that, at the request of the artist, the Neil Young concert would not have been broadcast live on the BBC on Saturday evening. Today we are pleased to confirm that it will be”, the issuer managers wrote in the note. Not a word of more, not one less. Its performance will be broadcast throughout the United Kingdom on the BBC, streaming starting at 10 pm, and also on BBC Two and Radio 2.
