This year's Glastonbury festival goers were crushed when it wasn't announced that singing legend Prince wasn't included in the line-up – however, there's still some hope the Purple Rain could make a special appearance on Worthy Farm later this week.
After making a comeback to the music world, it was widely rumoured the 56-year-old star would perform a special gig at the very famous British festival. New reports suggest that Prince is still in talks with the organisers for taking part this year.
A source told The Sun: "Prince wants to show up somewhere as a surprise. He has spent so much time in the UK lately, he'd love to do an impromptu set."

The paper also claim Metallica had considered playing a song by Prince as part of their set, just like Jay-Z's previous rendition of Oasis' Wonderwall.
"There was the suggestion of them covering Prince, reminiscent of when Jay-Z came on to Wonderwall, but it got a firm 'No', mostly from singer James Hetfield," the source said.
Arcade Fire, Metallica and Kasabian are headliners for this year's Glastonbury Festival, which takes place 25-29 June in Somerset, while other big names on the bill include Lily Allen, Disclosure, Sam Smith, Lana Del Rey, London Grammar and the legendary Dolly Parton.
