Stevie Wonder helped the festival celebrate its 40th anniversary with a crowd-pleasing set to close this year's event. He brought Michael Eavis on to the stage to help sing a version of Happy Birthday.
In The Sale Room (1) - A crystal-studded glove belonging to the late pop star Michael Jackson has sold at a US auction for $190,000 (£126,000). The glove, worn during the Jacksons' 1984 Victory tour, was among over 200 items on offer, which sold for just under $1m (£664,055) in total. The sale took place at Julien's Auctions at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas at the weekend. "It just shows you Michael Jackson is the most sought after and most collectible celebrity of all time. It was just phenomenal," Darren Julien, who ran the auction, told the Las Vegas Review Journal.
In The Sale Room (2) - A caricature by John Lennon of the singer and his wife, Yoko Ono, drawn during their 1969 'bed-in' in Montreal, Canada, has sold for £37,250. The piece, part of a rock and pop sale at Christie's in London, was created during their peace protest at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel.
Final Curtain - Mexican singer Sergio Vega was shot dead only hours after he had denied reports he had been murdered. The 40-year-old singer, known as El Shaka, told a website he had increased security measures after a number of Mexican musicians were killed. Musicians performing narcocorridos, songs celebrating the lives of drug barons, often become the targets of rival drug gangs. Gunmen opened fire on Mr Vega on his way to a concert in Sinaloa state.
