MARK RONSON - GREENWALD'S GLASTONBURY SCAFFOLDING SCARE

GREENWALD'S GLASTONBURY SCAFFOLDING SCARE

Super producer MARK RONSON's first Glastonbury set was almost halted prematurely when his guest star ALEX GREENWALD broke health and safety regulations by scaling the stage rigging. Greenwald, lead singer of Californian rock band Phantom Planet, was covering Radiohead's Just with Ronson at the Somerset, England festival on Sunday night (24Jun07) when he clambered up the metal supports holding up the lighting, before hanging by one arm nearly 20 feet (6 metres) above the stage. Still clutching his microphone, Greenwald ignored the frantic pleas of festival officials to climb down, and finished the song swinging from the rigging. Audience member Daniel Brown says, "I thought the officials were going to pull the plug on the whole set. Two came on stage to usher him (Greenwald) down but he just ignored their threats." Ronson's set also featured guest appearances from The Charlatans' Tim Burgess and R+B singer/songwriter Daniel Merriweather.
