Aw hell no. Peter Gabriel's supposed to sing a song in 65 seconds? Not possible, and I'm glad he told them so.
Peter Gabriel has pulled out of his performance at the Oscars ceremony after organisers shortened his stage time to just 65 seconds.
In a video on his website, the Academy Award-nominated singer said he had hoped to perform the complete version of Down To Earth.

Gabriel said: 'It's a bit unfortunate'.
But he added he was 'an old fart' who could afford to 'make a little protest'.
