"We’re very pleased to announce that Florence + The Machine
will play the Friday night Pyramid headline slot, which Foo
Fighters were forced to withdraw from yesterday," the popular
British festival announced on its website.
The Foo Fighters on Tuesday announced they were cancelling the
remainder of their European tour as Grohl recovers from surgery
after he broke his leg while performing last week. That includes
the starring spot at Glastonbury on June 26.
"Once we heard the sad news that Foo Fighters had been forced to
pull out, there was only one person we wanted to call and that
was Florence," Emily Eavis, a co-organizer of Glastonbury, said
on the festival website.
"Every time she has played here she’s done something spectacular
and we always knew she would headline the Pyramid one day. I’m
delighted she’s agreed to step up to it – she’s going to smash
it!”
