Jay-Z: 'Glastonbury row is ridiculous'

Rap superstar JAY-Z has defended his controversial forthcoming appearance at legendary UK music festival Glastonbury - branding the furore around his headlining slot "ridiculous".

Festival organisers' decision to book the hip-hop mogul as a headliner for the festival later this month has been widely criticised - with Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher insisting he was a "wrong" choice for the event.
