American music legend lined up as final Glastonbury headliner alongside Dua Lipa and Coldplay

I CAN exclusively reveal that Stevie Wonder is in talks over a return to the stage at Glastonbury.

Insiders have revealed the Master Blaster singer’s team are trying to finalise his slot, where he would join Dua Lipa and Coldplay, fronted by Chris Martin on the bill for the annual five-day event.

It has been 14 years since Stevie was last on the Pyramid stage at Worthy Farm.

A source said: “Stevie’s team have been working on a big tour and Glastonbury is something they want to make happen.

“He last performed there in 2010, when it was Glastonbury’s 40th birthday, and the American soul legend’s set went down a storm. To have him back on the farm is something organisers Michael Eavis and his daughter Emily are keen to make happen and they’ll move heaven and earth to get Stevie on the line-up.

“Stevie’s team are working on his dates now and hopefully things will be firmed up in the coming days.”

When Stevie last took to the Pyramid stage, he led a huge singalong to his 181 hit Happy Birthday.

The music icon also played some of his biggest numbers, including Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours), Superstition and I Just Called To Say I Love You.

I revealed last month how Bruce Springsteen’s team were also trying to work around the dates for the event, which runs from June 26-30, but they haven’t made it happen.

Shania Twain is vying for the coveted Legends slot at the festival too, which would round off the Sunday nicely, especially if Stevie’s people can pull it out of the bag for him.

Organiser Emily told in October how they were holding out on booking acts to try to secure a mammoth line-up.

She said: “I thought it was kind of taking shape, and then last week I just got a call, and this is what happens if you wait a little longer, because quite often we’ll be booked up from July.

“But this year we’re holding out for a little bit longer.

“And then last week I got a call from [a representative of] a really big American artist saying, ‘This person’s around next year’.

“And I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is incredible. Thank God we held the slot’.”

We can hear the farm calling our names already.

Although I still haven’t quite got the stench of the long drop toilets out of my cagoule from last year . . .
