Glastonbury - Michael Jackson tributes

Glastonbury is one of the biggest music festivals around the world, and this year saw a lineup including Blur, Nick Cave, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Lily Allen, Fleet Foxes, N.E.R.D, Regina Spektor, Eagles of Death Metal, Rye Rye, Peaches, Calvin Harris, 2ManyDJs, Bon Iver, M Ward, Cold War Kids, Animal Collective, Doves, Little Boots, The Wombats, and loads loads more. If only we could get that many huge names to Australia for a weekend summer festival!

But the person who stole the show (and the majority of stories that came out of Glastonbury) was Michael Jackson.

A number of Glasto artists paid tributes to the King of Pop at the festival. Mike Skinner and Soulwax did their own versions of Billie Jean, Little Boots covered Earth Song, Dizzee Rascal's DJ did a Jackson medley and Spinal tap claimed that "without Jackson there would be not tap"!

Check out Little Boots below. I had forgotten just how beautiful Earth Song is.
