Yesterday saw heartbreaking news for many - Dave Grohl's broken leg means Foo Fighters have no choice but to cancel appearances at Glastonbury and a number of European dates over the next few weeks and months - watch their set from Radio 1's Big Weekend below.  

The big question on everyone's lips was, who would replace the veteran rockers on the Pyramid Stage in Worthy Farm next weekend?

Jessica Bridge from high street bookies Ladbrokes has had this to say "There's no doubt that Florence (+ the Machine) is a festival favourite and it looks like they'll be bumped up to the main slot thanks to the Foo Fighters' absence. However should they remain the penultimate act on Friday then maybe Michael Eavis will get his chequebook out after all and stump up the cash for Fleetwood Mac."

These were the odds according to ITV News

Florence + the Machine - 5/6

Blur - 6/1

AC/DC - 6/1

Kylie Minogue 12/1

Taylor Swift - 14/1

Oasis - 33/1

One Direction - 50/1

Fleetwood Mac - 2/1

Update

It has been officially confirmed that Florence + The Machine will replace the Foo Fighters at the top of the bill next Friday.
