Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world. We spend hundreds of pounds to attend glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of entertainment.
Kanye has been very outspoken on his views on music....he should listen to his own advice and pass his headline slot on to someone deserving!
Lets prevent this musical injustice now!

I will be attending any other stage than the Pyramid stage that night.
Did I mention I'm going to Glastonbury again this year
I'm keeping everything crossed for Stone Roses closing on Sunday subbed by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

This petition drive is starting to attract publicity...
Fans petition Glastonbury fest organizers to replace Kanye West
(CNN)Kanye West is known for rankling people on stage. Now it's his turn to get a virtual smackdown.
One music fan in the UK wants him out of the Glastonbury Festival so bad, he's started a petition to make it happen.
In his petition, Neil Lonsdale describes the rapper as an "egotistical, maniacal, disgrace."
He calls on organizers to replace the "Yeezus" singer at the Glastonbury Festival this summer. West is booked to headline the festival, which runs between June 24-28. His performance is Saturday.
"Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world," Lonsdale says in the change.org petition. "We spend hundreds of pounds to attend glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of entertainment."
The petition urges West to "pass his headline slot on to someone deserving."
Lonsdale is not the only music fan upset by his scheduled performance. By early Friday, the petition had nearly 80,000 signatures.
West and the festival's organizers have not responded to the petition.
The festival is held in Somerset, England, and features various types of music. Past performers have included the Gorillaz and Stevie Wonder.

I'm sure the festival organizers are
delighted with all the free publicity the controversy is creating...

With a big multi-stage festival like this, I'm sure it's pretty easy to avoid him...

Well, you'll still probably run into his ego...
It's big enough to take up at least half of that map....
