Danny O'Donoghue 'thought he'd be more nervous' at Glastonbury
Danny O'Donoghue felt "too small for the stage" when he first performed at Glastonbury. The 44-year-old singer performed on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage on Saturday (28.06.25) for the first time in 16 years, and Danny admits that his latest experience at the world-famous festival in south-west England was markedly different to his first. He told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "I thought I'd be a bit more nervous. "Glastonbury is like Woodstock. The first time, I remember feeling too small for the stage. "The stage was huge. Now, coming back, the stage looks quite small. "But that's what 17 years of touring will do for you." Despite this, The Script's frontman admits that the band only just made it to the festival in time for their slot. Danny revealed that he'd been on a speedboat ride in Cardiff the day before their Glastonbury performance, and he's knees were "in bits" by the time they arrived at Worthy Farm. Speaking about his journey to the festival, the singer shared: "It was kick-a**. "For about two hours, I think they were trying their best to get us to crash and not show up to Glastonbury. "My knees are in bits. "He was trying to do doughnuts and then coming back out. We left the sea more than twice. We went right up and bang, smashed down." During The Script's performance, Danny delivered a touching tribute to Mark Sheehan, his former bandmate who died in April 2023, aged 46. Danny said: "There's one person I really wish was here to see this. He was on the stage 17 years ago. We lost my best mate and the founding member of The Script Mark Sheehan, we lost him nearly a year and a half ago. "I just want to thank every single person here for keeping us going, for all your thoughts and all your prayers, thank you so much." The singer also dedicated a song to his former bandmate. Danny continued: "I know he's having a whiskey right now looking down on us. With that I'm gonna dedicate this song to him, this song is called If You Could See Me Now."
