When fans heard that Kanye West was going to perform at the Glastonbury Festival, they reacted with disappointment that show organisers had lined up a hip hop artist when it was traditionally a festival for other genres of music.
So there was a strong petition signed by 134k angry Glastonbury fans to have Kanye's headline act cancelled but he still performed, so one music fan took matters into his own hands on Saturday night, found his way onto stage and interrupted Kanye West's Pyramid stage performance before being dragged off.
The stage crasher was comedian Lee
Nelson who gave Kanye a taste of his own medicine after the rapper
famously interrupted Taylor Swift and Beck during awards acceptance
speeches.
Kanye was in the middle of an
expletive-laden performance, which went out live on British television,
when Lee invaded the stage at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
Nelson wore a T-shirt that mocked
the rap artist's album Yeezus - as it read 'Lee-zus' instead - and
tweeted before the gig: 'Some people were saying Kanye shouldn't
headline Glastonbury so I thought I'd give him a hand.'
Despite the petition, fans still came out en-masse and seemed to enjoy Kanye's performance
