Overview
TONY CHRISTIE has been added to this year's Glastonbury line-up.
The crooner will play the main Pyramid Stage on the Sunday afternoon of the three-day festival.
Christie, who said he was "in awe" of the event, follows in the footsteps of Neil Diamond, Dame Shirley Bassey, Brian Wilson and James Brown, who have all played Sunday slots over the past few years.
Fans can expect to hear him perform his number one hit (Is This The Way To) Amarillo, which spent seven weeks at the top 2005 after it was re-released for Comic Relief.
Christie said he was "excited" about performing at the event and told BBC News: "I'm going to do some of the new album tracks and I've got to do my old stuff as well.
"I did the V Festival three years ago but I think Glastonbury is the big one, so it's a great honour."
Neil Young, Blur and Bruce Springsteen have already been confirmed as headliners at the festival, with Franz Ferdinand, Lily Allen and Fleet Foxes among the other acts performing.
The full line-up will be announced nearer the event, which takes place in Somerset from 27-29 June.
