Glastonbury temporarily turns into Michael Jackson shrine

London, June 27: Glastonbury Festival has turned into a shrine for shocked fans paying tribute to late Michael Jackson. More than 130,000 fans were said to come to a farm in Somerset for the legendary British rock festival that began on June 26.

But when news of the tragic demise of the King of Pop on Thursday spread, thousands of festival goers honoured the singer with all-night candlelit vigils in the surrounding fields. Top acts, including Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and reformed British rockers Blur, were also being rumoured to play cover versions of Jackson hits in tribute to the star during the annual three-day event. "I`ve been coming to Glastonbury for eight years and I`ve never seen anything like it,” The Daily Star quoted one festival-goer Mark Barnaby as saying. “It`s almost as if the entire event is now one big tribute to Michael. Everyone is walking around in total shock. Lots of people were in tears when they heard the news," he added. Festival organiser Emily Eavis wrote on her Twitter.com page, "There will be tributes all over the site, all weekend." ANI
