Lana Del Rey’s Glastonbury set came to the most dramatic end you can imagine.
The US star, 37, was 30 minutes late to The Other Stage on Saturday night, leaving fans wondering what on Earth was going on.
When she eventually made it out, she more than made up for her tardiness – but it wasn’t long until things got nasty.
Technical blunders ensued, with Lana being spoken to in her ear but seemingly ignoring demands to wrap things up.
She apologised for being late midway through, blaming her hair.
‘I was so f***ing late and I am about to rush this set,’ she told the crowd.

‘If they cut power, they cut power, I’m super f***ing sorry. My hair takes so long to do.
‘Let’s keep on running the set as it’s supposed to go.’
Except, the set didn’t run as it was supposed to go, as her microphone was cut.
This left Lana bewildered and looking very angry.
But, she refused to be ordered off stage and ended up singing a cappella with the thousands-strong crowd.
Her backing singers and dancers joined her as she sat on stage singing Video Games without music.
It was a sigh to behold, as the audience belted out her famous tune.
She didn’t stop there, either, as Lana told the crowd she was making her way down to see them.

Screaming revellers couldn’t believe their luck as the emotional star posed for selfies and gave out hugs.
Lana made her way along the barrier before accepting that it was, in fact, time to go.
We can only imagine the conversations had backstage afterwards!
The internet was left conflicted by the whole debacle, with one person tweeting: ‘I’m her biggest fan but you’re wrong here. It’s the other way round. This festival is bigger than Lana Del Rey and she just should have been on time. They legally can’t let her sing after 12’.
Another wrote: ‘I’m in shock @glastonbury that you had the audacity to cut her off like that, It’s genuinely disgusting. Most headliners get a 45 minute encore despite ‘noise pollution’ rules but apparently it doesn’t apply to her…’

‘If I was Lana Del Rey I would never play Glastonbury again for cutting off her mic’, one added.
Something tells us Lana won’t be hurrying back to Glasto…
