Lulu is reportedly set to be announced as performing her very last show at this year’s edition of Glastonbury.The rumours of an upcoming announcement arrive following the 75-year-old singer confirming that her current ‘Champagne For Lulu’ tour will be her last, earlier this year.Originally, the run of farewell shows were set to draw to a close with a final show at The London Palladium later this month (April 17), however, sources close to the singer have now come forward with claims that she may be rounding off her touring days with a slot at Worthy Farm this summer.The Sun reported quotes from an anonymous source today (April 10) in its Bizarre column (via Music News). “Lulu is going to be announced as a performer at Glastonbury next week,” they said. “It’s a massive deal for her and she can’t wait to play the Avalon stage.”They continued: “When Glasto organiser Emily Eavis got in touch about going down to the farm she couldn’t turn it down… It will be an emotional moment for her as it’s the last time she will ever play Glastonbury.“It was magical for her when she last played on that same stage in 2015.”The rumours of a Glasto set come following the ‘Shout’ hitmaker previously revealing that playing at Glastonbury was something she deemed as a highlight of her career.Speaking about the moment in a past interview (via Music News), the singer said: “The roar from the crowd was deafening.

I was very surprised, as I didn’t really know what to expect. It was just fantastic and I had so much fun.“My daughter-in-law Alana took the best picture afterwards of my son Jordan and I laughing backstage.

And she made me a mug as a present for my birthday with the photo on it.“On the back it says, ‘My mother just rocked Glasto’.
