Edinburgh audience praised after stepping in as Beyonce makes 'blunder' during set

There's a reason Scottish crowds are the best according to a number of singers - and they did not disappoint on Saturday night.

Tens of thousands of fans flocked to Murrayfield Stadium to see Beyoncé perform on May 20 with many queueing the night before so they could get as close to the star as possible.

Scottish crowds are known for being enthusiastic and loud and during Beyoncé's track Heated, she messed up a lyric - but fans were quick to avoid letting the mood drop.

Rather than singing CoCo Chanel, she sang CoCo Canal. The Single Ladies singer gave a little giggle but as she tried to compose herself, her fans belted out the rest of the song until she joined in again.

Many reckon it is down to the school assemblies where we all had to sing hymns in unison that has led us to our strong reputation.

The video was shared across social media, with one fan commenting: "I love that the audience kept singing all the lyrics anyway waiting for her to join back in."

Another said: "Pretty sure I carried my section when she played Heated."

A third said: "If Bey says it’s Coco Canal then it’s Coco Canal now."
