- During Coldplay's Glastonbury set encore, Chris Martin said that they would be taking a request from Instagram, NME reports.
A video of Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis was projected, with Eavis stating that often people ask him who he would love to play the festival.
He replied that "most of them are dead now" but one that he's always wanted is The Bee Gees because they have "lovely songs".
