Jay-Z answered his critics, notably Oasis's
Noel Gallagher at Glastonbury. Striding on
stage with a guitar slung over his shoulder,
he led the crowd in a rendition of Oasis's
"Wonderwall", smiling throughout, and with
wife Beyonce Knowles in attendance, his set
included songs such as "99 Problems".
In a radical departure from the indie rock
and guitar bands commonly associated with
Glastonbury, the festival recruited the New
Yorker in a bid to reach out to a younger
audience.
Michael Eavis, who runs the festival on his
dairy farm, admitted they had "stuck their
necks out on this one."
Organisers staunchly defended the choice of
Jay-Z, despite the slow ticket sales and
sniping from Glastonbury veterans like Oasis
guitarist Noel Gallagher.
In April, Gallagher slammed the booking of
Jay-Z to headline to festival as "wrong",
declaring: "I'm not having hip-hop at
Glastonbury. It's wrong."
