Stryder's dash to Glastonbury from World Cup

The Number 1 hitmaker jetted off to South Africa to see his team play against Slovenia after Rio Ferdinand offered him a seat in the stadium.

Stryder was ecstatic when England won the match 1-0 - but was forced to jet back to the U.K. immediately after the game to make his slot at Glastonbury on Saturday (26Jun10).

He tells the News of the World, "Rio Ferdinand got me a ticket so I jumped at the chance. I got to meet some of the players before the games and watch the matches.

"It was incredible, but performing here is just as good for me."
