Sunday Legend 2016

[slash's hat]

Didn't do sacrifice or circle of life at kingsholm stadium. Too busy yelling at stewards. Diva.

[sime]

Elton would own the legends slot the same way Lionel did this year I reckon. It would be for a lot of people one big laugh singalong and I'm sure Elton would be feeling that way too. I'd love to see it be him.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The stewards would have received a far more genial, heartwarming, Dickensian reception from Reg if they'd dressed up as meerkats.

Urethra Franklin

[zero000]

Circle of life in for Candle in the wind and you'd be in for a cracker. Otherwise the chair brigade will be weeping into their Daily Mail's about "our princess" .

[tevaburger]

Aretha Franklin always gets mentioned year after year on here but remember that she hasn't stepped on an airplane since the 80's i believe, fear of flying thing...someone can check to see last time she did a gig in the UK, or anywhere that required a flight from the US...

 

unless they do a Mr T on her, and tell her it's a state fair gig at a farm in the US midwest...unlikely

"I want to come to London. I'll be there when I can get over this flying thing," she said.

"I've had a fear of flying since 1984. It just came on overnight. I did take a class, Fearless Flyers, but I missed two weeks of it and my fellow students went on to Indiana and passed, and I didn't, so I need to make those two classes and then hopefully I'll pass and I'll be able to fly again."

October 2014!!

 

Shes lost a good bit of weight and is a lot healthier at the moment. Her voice is much better as a result.

 

Shit video but good sound. From March this year.

Aretha > Baz

How very dare you!

[CaledonianGonzo]

There's no question that Aretha would be quite something.

Is she scared of boats as well?

She's seen Titanic.

Probably doesn't fancy the two week round trip.

[The Placid Casual]

Probably doesn't fancy the two week round trip.

Plenty of time to rehearse.

[CaledonianGonzo]

A rumour reaches me that Aretha's audience all dress up as fried chickens. Can anyone confirm?

[mungo57]

How much does he get for playing places like Doncaster, Colchester and Walsall to <15,000 people?

I'd like to think that he can see the boost playing that slot gives artists.

I'd guess the ticket price makes up for that I remember Watford Vicarage Road was at least £50 a seat a few years ago some were £100+

[Nuthugger]

I'd like to see Meat Loaf doing the Legends Set.

I'd like to see Meat Loaf doing the Legends Set.

Please keep it to yourself.

Don't want Eavis hearing it

[BlackHole2006]

Jeff Lynne and ELO would be absolutely fantastic!

 

But on West Holts, please!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

It's a shame he's probably to old now, but Little Richard would have been perfect.

[Gucci Piggy]

Aren't The Who all like 100 years old?

[Purple aki squat]

Do we want some Barry Manilow?

Nah mate, yer alright.

You sure?

Mandy would go down a storm

[guypjfreak]

by the time prince gets his act together hell only be worth the sunday slot lol

[CaledonianGonzo]

Mandy is a tune, and I probably dig Copacabana more than most, but Manilow himself is an eerie automaton.

[The Nal]

Barry Manilow is bottom shelf "own brand" cheese. Only if you're really stuck.
