Eagles Of Death Metal star 'scared to death' at Glastonbury

Jessie 'The Devil' Hughes even brings his mum along for moral support

Eagles Of Death Metal made their Glastonbury debut today (June 27), with a little help from Jessie 'The Devil' Hughes' family.

Hughes brought some Hollywood sleaze to the Pyramid Stage this afternoon, with Joey Castillo from and Dizzee Rascal.

However the desert rocker had his mum and son watching from the side of the stage to reassure him.

"To make us even more nervous, my mom has flown over to your country to make sure I don't cuss from the side of the stage," Hughes told the crowd. "And I’ve got my little boy right behind me. It's a family affair."

Hughes spent much of the show flirting and bantering with girls in the front rows, and revealing his pink underwear.

Eagles Of Death Metal played:

'I Only Want You'
'Don't Speak (I Wanna Make A Bang!)'
'Bad Dream Mama'
'Heart On'
'Secret Plans'
'Comeback King'
'English Girl'
'Cherry Cola'
'Anything 'Cept The Truth'
'Midnight Creeper'
'I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)'
'Speaking In Tongues'

Surprised they didn't play Just Nineteen. Still a kick ass set though!

I thought the BBC coverage of Glastonbury was very poor this year. They kept showing the same acts over and over. Crosby ,Stills & Nash were shown about 4 times, Bruce at least 3 times, Pendulum 3 times, Tom Jones twice, etc etc. It's irrelevant whether I like these acts or not, but what is the point of repeating the same stuff over & over, and not showing other acts. I personally would love to have seen Eagles of Death Metal's performance. As a huge fan of the band (I've seen them twice in the last 3 months), I was hoping that a bit of Glasto coverage would raise their profile, 'cos they are a truly outstanding live rock'n'roll experience and have an amazing rapport with a live audience. And I have yet to hear one of their song's on the radio. Hey ho. I guess the plus side is that I will still be able to see them in tiny venues as I did last Thursday at Falmouth. 600 capacity, SOLD OUT. Awesome
