Meanwhile, frontman Mick Jagger has vetoed the Stones ever playing at Glastonbury "I don't want to play Glastonbury on the Sunday night in the pouring rain, which is what The Who did this year. I was watching it on the telly, and my kids were there. I'm on the phone saying 'It's awful'. They said it's really fun, but it didn't look fun to me. You've got to pick your slot."
