A man is dead after suffering "significant burns" at the Glastonbury music festival, days before it's due to begin.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the man - thought to be a festival-goer - is believed to have caught fire in the Green Field as a result of a petrol spillage.
Firefighters reportedly struggled to get to the man on time on account of the mud and flooding Glastonbury is famed for.
Avon and Somerset police said: "The man suffered serious burns and was taken by air ambulance to Southmead hospital in Bristol.
"He was transferred to the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham, where he sadly later died."
