Usher Interview With Sky News (UK)
Usher hasn’t ruled out pulling on his wellies and joining his old pal Stevie Wonder at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
The pair became friends after performing Higher Ground at President Barack Obama’s inauguration, and now the younger star has tipped his hero to be the must-see act on the pyramid stage at this month’s festival.
“I don’t think there’s an audience that Stevie can’t win over with his voice,” Usher told Sky News.
“If he can’t then maybe there’s something wrong with their ears! I wish him well at the show.”
Glastonbury headliners are well known for bringing on special guests, and Usher says he’d jump at the chance of playing down on Worthy Farm – even if the mud might spoil his designer clothes.
“Eventually I’ll play anywhere, as long as you’ve got a stage and a microphone I’ll do it,” he smiles.
Usher has just performed on Britain’s Got Talent to promote his 6th album “Raymond V Raymond”, which contains his number one single OMG.
Despite some recent quotes which suggested he wasn’t a fan of TV reality shows, he says the stars of last week’s final deserve their shot at fame, however fleeting.
“Everybody has their view of talent,” says Usher.
“I think everybody deserves a moment in the sun and this is obviously a show that’s really worked and is very popular.
“We’ve left the time where the star has kind of been preserved. I have no issue with it, I’ve seen very odd things, some of it is hilarious, some of it is intended for comedy and some of it is intended for a true career being built.”
