Sure, Foo Fighters put on an epic performance at Glastonbury this year – but fans were equally as obsessed with their sign language interpreter.
The rock band took to the Pyramid Stage on Friday night after confirming a surprise set at the Worthy Farm festival.
Following weeks of speculation that they were behind The Churnups alias – an unknown band that mysteriously appeared on the line-up for this year – they well and truly put on a show, leaving revellers gasping for air after rocking out to all their hits.
As the set streamed live on BBC iPlayer, so did a BSL (British Sign Language) version, ensuring no one misses out on the Glasto action this year.
Three separate interpreters took on the role of translating the Foos’ songs into sign language, with one lady in particular catching people’s eyes.
She seemed to be having a whale of a time, rocking out herself with fun facial expressions and doing little boogies during the instrumentals.

‘You can tell Sign Language lady definitely enjoyed singing along to Foo Fighters’, another joked.

Foo Fighters’ set was incredibly special, with founder Dave, 54, taking a moment to pay tribute to late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died last year aged 50.
‘I would like to dedicate this song to Mr Taylor Hawkins,’ the lead vocalist said before belting out Everlong.
‘So, let’s sing this one loud,’ he told the thousands-strong crowd, who burst into a chant of Hawkins’ name.
