PINK FLOYD - GILMOUR SNUBBED CHANCE TO PLAY U.K. FESTIVAL

PINK FLOYD frontman DAVID GILMOUR has been reportedly snubbed by the organisers of a U.K. festival - because he is too old.
The rocker, 62, was desperate for a slot at this year's (08) Glastonbury festival, but organiser Michael Eavis is keen to attract a modern generation to the event.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Dave has always had a soft spot for Glastonbury. He's got a window in his touring plans and thought he'd contact Michael about performing.
"And while Michael was grateful for the offer he turned it down. He wants the event to appeal to a younger generation and feels that Dave wouldn't."
Kings Of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve will headline the festival later this month (27-29June08).
