Not satisfied with the surprise concert that the Foo Fighters gave in Glastonbury on Friday, Dave Grohl returned to the stage of the English festival two more times on Saturday.
“Apparently there’s a drunk backstage who insists on playing and I don’t want any trouble,” said Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, who performed on the Park Stage, already joined mid-set by Johnny Marr (Smiths). The drunk was actually Dave Grohl, who sat down at the drums and played Tattooed Love Boys.
In the previous hours it had been speculated that Paul McCartney would take the stage with the Pretenders, who saw the Pretenders show from the side of the stage and only appeared briefly to greet the audience.
Later, Grohl joined headliners Guns N’ Roses to play Paradise City on the Pyramid Stage this time with six strings, «because there are never enough guitars», as Axl Rose said. Again, there had been gods rumors about McCartney’s presence on stage for Live and let die.
The festival will close tonight with a concert by Elton John: it is announced as the last performance of his life in the UK. “There’s no better way to say goodbye to my British fans.”
