Lana Del Rey’s microphone was completely muted during her Glastonbury performance as she hit curfew after getting on stage 30 minutes late.
The 38-year-old singer made festival-goers eagerly await her arrival as she was due to go to the Other Stage at 10:30 p.m., but didn’t leave the stage until around 11 p.m.
She started her performance with a bang, but was quick to explain why she was late, explaining that it was because her haircut took a long time and she even brought a barber on stage to do hers to complete the look.
Lana had vowed to go ahead with her performance as originally planned, but was unable to do so as she canceled the performance in the middle of the night curfew and turned off her microphone.
Glastonbury are not permitted to play music on any major stage after midnight and Lana’s performance was supposed to end at 11.45pm but was still going on more than 15 minutes later.
