Rock legend Neil Young has announced his decision to skip this year’s Glastonbury Festival, criticizing its partnership with the BBC and claiming the event is now under ‘corporate control.’ Young expressed his disappointment on his website, stating he and his band were excited to play but were uncomfortable with the festival’s new direction. The BBC, which has partnered with Glastonbury since 1997, has not commented on his statement. This marks a significant shift for Young, who last headlined the festival in 2009.
