Festival organisers quashes purple rumours, saying the star will not play this year

It looks like rumours of a Prince performance at this year's Glastonbury Festival have finally been put to be, with organiser Emily Eavis reportedly stating that he will not be appearing on Worthy Farm in June.

Since the 'Purple Rain' icon touched down in the UK for a string of surprise live shows, gossip has been rife that he would be among the big name acts on this year's Glasto line-up. However, in a statement to 6Music, as reported by efestivals, Eavis is quoted as saying that while both her and Michael Eavis still hope to book Prince in the future, he would not be performing this year.

The full line-up for Glastonbury is still to be announced, with only a handful of acts so far confirmed to appear. Dolly Parton and Arcade Fire are the only two officially announced by festival organisers, while the likes of Lily Allen, Warpaint and Blondie has confirmed their appearance themselves.

A full line-up for Glastonbury 2014 is expected in the coming weeks.
