Gandalf set to join Scissor Sisters at Glasto

The Scissor Sisters are hoping to be joined on stage by Ian McKellen at this weekend's Glastonbury Festival.

The band, who are set to perform before Muse on the Pyramid Stage at the world famous music event, have reportedly lined up an appearance by the 'Lord of the Rings' actor when they perform new track 'Invisible Light', from their upcoming album 'Night Work', on which he feature on vocals.

Singer Ana Matronic told The Sun newspaper: "I would die to have him up there. I met him at Live Aid. He was backstage hanging out, so I think he's a good time Charlie. He could get into it."

She went on to joke that she wants McKellen, who played wizard Gandalf in the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy, to wear a rubber wizard costume while performing with the group.

The Scissor Sisters are not the only band performing at Glastonbury who hope to be joined on stage by a guest star.

Headliners Muse have promised a "very, very special surprise guest" will perform alongside them.

Drummer Dominic Howard revealed: "If it comes off, it'll be a huge moment for Glastonbury. It will take it to a whole new level for us."
