I’m a great believer in serendipity and fate – this is the most wonderful way to sign off in England.“They’ve been wonderful. Emily [Eavis, festival co-organiser]’s been fantastic.”John went on to say that his Glastonbury show will have a “different setlist” to the rest of his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour, which wraps up in the UK on June 18.“It’s gonna be much different,” the musician told Mills.
“I’ve got guests who I can’t tell you who they are. But it’s gonna be wonderful – I’m really looking forward to it.”Possible guests could include Dua Lipa and Rina Sawayama – both of whom worked with John on his collaborative 2021 album, ‘The Lockdown Sessions’.
