Glastonbury fans watching from home have complained about the quality of Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose's microphone during their headline slot.
The US rockets made their Glastonbury debut as they headlined the Saturday night on the Pyramid Stage. Original members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan took to the stage at 9.30pm to begin their two hour set.
However many of those watching at home on BBC straight away complained that they were struggling to hear the iconic frontman's voice. Many were left wondering if there was a problem with Axl's microphone. @jadelhealz tweeted: "Did someone forget to turn on Axl’s mic?" while @live_berry wrote: "Someone please sort out Axl’s mic, when you actually hear him his voice is bang on."

@DJ_MRTG also wrote: "Someone turn Axl’s mic up! He’s getting drowned out by the rest of the band" while @richardhorrocks added: "What's wrong with Axl's mic !!!!" and @StephenHaggart wrote: "They need to turn Axl's mic up a smidge, I'm struggling to hear him."
The Manchester Evening News reported despite the sound issues many were still in awe of the performance - and loved seeing three of the original line up back together. @EJdaRed: "Guns n Roses are still top class. Slash is still as amazing as ever and Axl is going all out, respect the commitment to Glasto". while @pongo1927 simply tweeted: "Guns n Roses....awesome."
@DeathApeDisco also singled out guitarist Slash writing: "Slash. What a guitarist. What an icon. Wow." Playing at the same time as Guns N' Roses were Lana Del Ray on The Other Stage, Fatboy Slim on The Park Stage and Christine and the Queens on Woodsies.
Earlier in the day there were performances by Rick Astley, Lizzo, Lewis Capaldi and Blossoms. Scottish singer Lewis treated the crowd of adoring fans to a host of hit tracks from his two chart-topping albums as well as taking his shirt off at one stage.
After performing Bruises, he admitted he was having voice issues, telling the crowd: “I’m going to be honest everybody but I’m starting to lose my voice up here, but we’re going to keep going and we’re going to go until the end."
The fourth day of the festival, held in Pilton, Somerset, also saw film screenings, theatre and circus performances, as well as an event by Stormzy’s publishing imprint Merky Books, titled Demystifying Publishing.
A BBC spokesperson said: “This year the BBC is bringing audiences amazing live performances straight from Glastonbury’s stages, with 40 hours of TV coverage, 85 hours of live radio and multiple streams on BBC iPlayer.”
