Glastonbury delight for Maisie Peters as fan returns her witch's broom

Singer-songwriter Maisie Peters had an unexpected surprise at Glastonbury when a fan returned a witch's broom from a previous performance. Taking to the iconic Pyramid Stage at Worth Farm, Somerset on Friday, the 23-year-old artist marked the release of her second album, The Good Witch.

During an interview with the BBC, Peters shared the story behind the broom, saying, "I did a gig earlier this week in Kingston (at Pryzm) and I asked everyone: 'If anyone is going to Glastonbury'. And when a girl [came] and said: 'She is', I gave her a broom. And (I said) 'Try and get this back to me. Just try'. And she did... What a legend."

Playfully, Peters joked that the fan must have flown on the broom all the way from Kingston upon Thames in southwest London. Reflecting on her first-time performance on the Pyramid Stage, the singer described it as "crazy" and said it happened in the blink of an eye.
