Peter Gabriel Pulls Oscar Show

Peter Gabriel has pulled out of performing his Oscar-nominated track from Wall-E at the ceremony next Sunday, after his stage time was cut to 65 seconds.

'Down To Earth', co-written by Thomas Newman, is nominated in the Best Song category and will be one of three shortlisted songs to be performed as part of a medley at the Kodak Theatre.

Gabriel, who was hoping to perform the track in full, said, 'It's a bit unfortunate', before adding he's 'an old fart' who can afford to 'make a little protest'.

And the world shrugs in unison.
