A huge American rock singer is reportedly in talks to take to the stage at Glastonbury 2024 after Madonna was pulled out of the running.
Bruce Springsteen, 74, who left fans in amazement after his BST Hyde Park three-hour performance, is preparing to take to the iconic Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm next year.
If organisers Michael and Emily Eavis manage to find an agreement with the Born To Run singer, he will be joining the likes of Dua Lipa and Coldplay to headline the stage in Somerset.
A source told The Sun: 'Bruce has a jam-packed summer schedule but after Michael and Emily failed to secure Madonna, they have been in talks with him.
'Bruce was sensational at BST Hyde Park and they think he is the perfect booking for Glastonbury. Talks with his team are ongoing and the Eavis' hope they can come to an agreement.

'Bruce headlined in 2009 and joined Sir Paul McCartney during his set in 2022 and now he is keen to return with his E Street Band. The organisers know they need to book someone with the same legendary status and gravitas as Madge, and Bruce would be ideal.'
It comes after Glastonbury organisers were left in chaos after talks with Madonna collapsed after they refused to pay the fee to bring her live show to the festival.
Bosses are now scrambling around to find a replacement for the Sunday night 'legends' slot after learning that her performance would be too costly.
Sources say that Madge, 65, wanted to recreate the show she performs on her current Celebration tour, which would require paying a number of dancers and an expensive set.
The star does 'not come cheap' as one of the world's most loved divas but Emily Eavis was understood to be really keen to sign her up after watching her concert earlier this year.
A Glastonbury source told The Mail on Sunday: 'To be honest it's been a real blow not being able to nail down a deal with Madonna.
'Emily was so keen to have her play the legend slot. After she saw Madonna's tour in London in October she raved about her on Instagram, something she rarely does without Glastonbury in mind.
'But everyone knows that after last year, and the criticism over the gender balance, we've got to have big name females heading the line-up. Dua Lipa is a real catch. Now we need another.
'There is still some hope it an be resurrected but it's pretty unlikely. There are money issues at the root of this, it's a real shame.'
Dua Lipa and Coldplay are set to headline at the world famous Pyramid stage on Friday and Saturday night respectively but Madonna's likely absence has now left organisers desperately searching for another female replacement.
