Glastonbury performer Billy NoMates has begged BBC Radio 6 to take down videos of her set after she received cruel and mocking comments from online trolls.
The singer, whose real name is Tor Maries, performed at the festival's Park Stage on Friday and footage was shared on the radio station's Twitter and Instagram pages.
Bravely taking to the stage alone, without any band to accompany her, she performed in what should have been a career highlight - but instead, she faced a torrent of abuse.
The Mirror reports that after the unkind comments came flooding in, the musician made a public plea for the station to remove the footage. She also appeared to cut ties with the station altogether, saying there would be "no more shows" after the summer.
Taking to Instagram, she penned: "I know it's not for everyone what I do. I know lots of people don't rate me. But the level of personal abuse on the public page is too much.
"there will be no more shows after this summer. You wouldn't stay in a workplace that did this to you. Why should I."
The radio station appears to have deleted the videos of the performer's gig from their social media channels. The Mirror have reached out to the BBC for comment.
After posting the story, the singer has received plenty of supportive comments from fans as well as others in the music industry.
Billy Bragg tweeted: "Solidarity from everyone at Left Field with Billy No Mates who was so badly abused online after her @glastonbury set was posted on @BBC6Music that she asked them to take the clip down.
"She played a set for us last year and was brilliant. You’ll always have place here Tor".
While producer The Anchoress added: "Glastonbury should have been a career highlight for the fabulous Billy Nomates but instead toxic and misogynistic online culture ruins everything and she’s asked them to remove footage of her incredible set.
"And we wonder why we have no female headliners…"
And radio DJ Edith Bowman penned: "I adore @_billy_nomates a huge talent and stands out because she’s true to herself.. amazing Glasto set.. xx"
Fans were also quick to offer their support, with one saying: "Billy Nomates (Tor Maries) is one of our very best artists - someone who deserves a Mercury Prize nomination next month for CACTI. Her performance was fantastic!
"Too angry to write...but it is clear there is widespread misogyny and sexism. Something needs to change right now".
And another insisted: "nothing but love and respect for @_billy_nomates.
" It takes a lot of balls to get up in front of that many people with no one else behind you."
