(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Rihanna would rock the stage if she ever got the chance to perform at the Glastonbury music festival.
The 22-year-old currently sits on top of the pop world, with her latest album Loud going down a storm. With many of her career goals achieved, the successful singer thinks it would be an honour to perform at the event held in the South West of England.
Id love to play Glastonbury. I have heard so many things about what happens there. I love rock music. I love Kings of Leon and the Prodigy. You could have nightmares about that guy with the clown face and the weird hair [Keith Flint]. Thats a look to scare little kids, right, she told Q magazine.
Rihanna vowed to live up to star performers of yesteryear if she ever takes to the Glastonbury stage.
But the music is awesome. I like the more traditional rock bands, too: Aerosmith and Bon Jovi. I think I could rock the stage at Glastonbury no question, she added.
Although she would normally not be considered a traditional headline act for the festival, Rihanna took heart from the 2008 performance of her mentor and close friend Jay-Z, who headlined the event amidst much controversy. Rihanna sees this as a sign that the music showcased at the event has never been as diverse, and thinks her signature hit Umbrella would be a sure-fire way to win over the crowd.
I know since Jay-Z played they are open to a lot more R&B. And Umbrella would be the perfect song for that place too, right, she said. (C) Cover Media
