Arctic Monkeys headed to the Pyramid Stage last night as the first headline act on the first day of Glastonbury 2023. However, some fans watching the set at home were left asking the same question about Alex Turner's voice.
There had been fears ahead of the performance that the band may have to cancel as Alex had acute laryngitis which forced them to pull out of their show in Marlay Park, Dublin, on Wednesday, Manchester Evening News reports. Hours before they took to the stage Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis confirmed they would still play their headline slot.
Alex led the show in his classic suave style, donning a black suit and white open collar shirt paired with dark sunglasses. Addressing the crowd, he said: “Greetings Somerset” before striking up the chords of Snap Out Of It.
