DICKINSON SNUBS GLASTONBURY AND REALITY TV
IRON MAIDEN frontman BRUCE DICKINSON refuses to play at renowned British music festival Glastonbury - because the event is far too civilised for h is hard-rocking band.
Dickinson is adamant his heavy metal group will never set foot on the f amed Glastonbury stage because the crowds at the outdoor gig are far too "polite".
He also reveals he was once asked to star in a gruesome reality show bu t insists he’s ruled out ever performing or mentoring on TV contests like Simon Cowell’s U.K. series The X Factor.
Dickinson tells Britain’s The Sun, "We would never do a TV show like X Factor and we would never play Glastonbury. I cannot stand X Factor. I’ve been offered all sorts of reality TV. One guy offered me a programme whi ch involved me having my poo examined. I thought it was a wind-up (joke).
I told him where to go in no uncertain terms.
"Glastonbury is a bit too cream cakes and afternoon tea for us. It’s al l yurts and people being far too polite."
