Dolly Parton denies miming at celebrated Glastonbury show

A spokesperson for Dolly Parton has denied the country and western megastar was miming at Glastonbury, at a set hailed by many as the highlight of the entire weekend.

The good people of the internet, led by ball-busting Sky News anchor Kay Burley, were quick to accuse the 68-year-old superstar of failing to sing live during her Sunday show, which has since been strongly denied by Parton's rep.

"She sings live. Some people don't know an amazing singer when they hear one," said the spokesperson in a statement to The Sunday Mirror.

Burley, who has a reputation for tactless TV questioning and is famed for her impersonal presenting, led the barrage as she tweeted: "Oh, Dolly is miming. How disappointing."

Support for the '9 To 5' icon came from Stephen Fry, however, who claimed any televised kinks in sound footage were due to vocal filters and post-production for broadcast.

"I think I know quite a lot about how TV is made. Why are people saying @DollyParton is miming? She's fooling me," Fry tweets. "Believe me, that is not miming. If it appears not always to lip-sync that's an HD live processor issue. You see it with news reporters."
