Neil Young confirmed as Glastonbury headliner - days after saying he was pulling out

Neil Young has been confirmed as a headliner at this year's Glastonbury - despite saying he was dropping out due to the BBC's involvement in the festival.

The 79-year-old musician wrote on his website earlier this week that both he and his band, The Chrome Hearts, were pulling out because the BBC's involvement was a "corporate turn-off".

He has now said in a statement that this decision was down to "an error in the information I received".

Emily Eavis, the organiser of the festival, posted on Instagram on Friday: "Neil Young is an artist who's very close to our hearts at Glastonbury.

"He does things his own way and that's why we love him.

"We can't wait to welcome him back here to headline the Pyramid in June."
