Who performed the 'Legends' slot at Glastonbury in 2015?

Lionel Richie performed Glastonbury's Legends slot in 2015.

Richie appeared on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday afternoon, 28 June 2015, in the festival's traditional Legends slot. The performance placed a major figure from American pop, soul and funk before the evening's headliners, The Who. His set drew one of the weekend's biggest crowds, estimated at between 100,000 and 120,000 people.

The slot is designed for established artists with long careers and a catalogue familiar to several generations. Richie fit that role through his work with the Commodores and his solo career. Songs associated with his set and audience included “Hello,” “All Night Long,” “Dancing on the Ceiling” and “Three Times a Lady.”

The 2015 festival also featured Kanye West and The Who as Pyramid Stage headliners, while Florence and the Machine replaced Foo Fighters after Dave Grohl broke his leg. Rod Stewart, Elton John and Paul McCartney have all been linked with Glastonbury's veteran-artist tradition, but Richie was the Legends performer in 2015.
