Young took to his website to reveal that after beign asked to do things in a certain way, he and his band were no longer interested in performing at the summer festival.
He said in a statement: “The Chrome Hearts and I were looking forward to playing Glastonbury, one of my all-time favourite outdoor gigs.
“We were told that the BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury an wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in.
“It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being. Thanks for coming to see us the last time!
“We will not be playing Glastonbury on this tour because it is a corporate turn-off, and not for me like it used to be. Hope to see you at one of the other venues on the tour,” the open letter concluded.
