"We are asking on behalf of the family."

Stuart. Cardiff.
My thoughts are with family and friends, I was camped a few tents away as it happened, everyone did what they could and I hope that everyone trying to help during this tragedy knows this. Glastonbury emergency services responded as quickly as was possible and these people are truely amazing & deserve much respect for the difficult job they do. Again, my sincere condolences To all envolved.

sad to hear that someone actually had to die at glasto. for such a happy event that happening is such a downer. don't blame it on basement jaxx though - have everyone dedicate a song! them closing the stage doesn't mean its their fault...
