Plenty of artists go to Glastonbury claiming that they have the songs that everyone wants to sing, the kind of modern classics that would be made equally welcome blasting out of a tinny launderette radio or a colossal stadium PA; Lionel Richie genuinely does. He's got All Night Long and Dancing on the Ceiling, he has My Love and Easy and Stuck on You, songs that demand a sunshine Pyramid Stage singalong, even if the weather does not agree.
And he has Hello, an impervious monolith of a song that can be both a silly internet meme - you鈥檒l have seen those mugs that read 鈥淗ello, is it tea you鈥檙e looking for?鈥� - and genuinely heartbreaking smooch at the same time. Turn up for the hits, turn up for a giggle, Lionel will squeeze a sob out of you all before he's finished with you.
