James Arthur moans about 'mediocre' acts performing at Glastonbury

James Arthur had a little bit of a winge at the weekend, choosing to have a go at the "mediocre" acts performing at Glastonbury.

The X Factor alumni's mini-rant came courtesy of Twitter, where he chose to air his dissatisfaction at not being asked to perform at the weekend. He reasoned that he wasn't booked for the show, because of his roots on a reality TV talent show and that no-one like him had ever played the festival before (probably for good reason). 

Its sad that I'll probably never play Glastonbury because of the format I was discovered.. Has anyone from xfactor ever played it?

He then added in a tweet that has since been deleted:"Especially sad when you see how mediocre some of these acts are live!! #verybitter".

Earlier this month Arthur was forced to confirm that he had parted ways with Syco, following a long string of controversial incidents involving homophobia and racism. He also hit out at his the label on the World's a Stage mixtape, which probably didn't help things. Despite this he wrote on Twitter at the time: "Just to clear things up - I am no longer with Syco. I would like to thank all at the label for making a great record with me."

He also recently posted pictures of himself with a bruised face, claiming that he was in a fight in a Polish bar. He reassured fans that he's okay however.
