Mel B claims Glastonbury 2021 has been CANCELLED due to the COVID-19 crisis as she says it’s more important to get the virus ‘under control’

Mel B has claimed that Glastonbury 2021 has been cancelled.

The Spice Girls star, 45, appeared on BBC 5 Live on Monday when she said the summer festival was no longer going ahead, after the 2020 edition was cancelled due to the coronavirus crisis.

Looking forward to her schedule for the year, Mel said: ‘I know Glastonbury has been cancelled, so a lot of big stage shows are going to be on hold again this year which is sad but we’ve got to get this virus under control then I guess.’

When her claims were questioned, as no official news has been given to the public about the festival, she added: ‘They did today, unfortunately.’ 

However, show bosses claimed that there was ‘no news’ on whether the event would go ahead, as Emily Eavis tweeted in response to Mel’s claims: ‘Nope, no news this end. Will let you know right here as soon as there is news.’

During her interview, Mel also said that she hoped the Spice Girls could take to the stage at the festival as headliners, possibly in the most coveted Sunday spot.

When asked about it, she said: ‘I’ve always wanted to do that, we always have.’
