Sam Sparro courts Beth Ditto

Sam Sparro says he would love to collaborate with The Gossip's Beth Ditto, and defends Jay-Z's Glastonbury headline slot on BBC 6music.

Sam Sparro has revealed that he wants to collaborate with The Gossip's Beth Ditto. The singer told BBC 6music: "I've always said this and I'll say it again just in case she's ever listening - I would love to do a track with Beth Ditto. I think we would just do something really out of this world together".

But that's not what we really want to know about. What we really want to know is what Sam Sparro thinks about Jay-Z headlining Glastonbury. He said: "I'm a Glastonbury virgin so maybe I've missed the heyday but this will be my first time there. Glastonbury's about diversity in music y'know and if it's just gonna be all just kind of one type of band, then it's not gonna be a very good festival. So why not open it up - and y'know why not? Jay-Z's cool".
