Lana Del Rey fans have said they were devastated after her set at Glastonbury was cut short when her microphone was cut off by the festival before the end of her performance. Some fans had already given up on the star when she didn't show up on stage on time.
When the Summertime Sadness singer did arrive on stage she warned she might not be able to finish her set due to her lateness and that she would be rushing through it.
“It’s just kind of devastating, because… apparently she did like less than half her set according to the security people and I basically just came to this festival to see her,” Sasha Watkins told the PA news agency.
The 18-year-old from London said despite Del Rey’s performance starting half an hour late she “was fine and she was doing herself”.

“Then you got to (about) midnight and all the screens went black, her mic cut out, everything went black,” she added.
“Then the whole audience started singing Video Games together… she was like conducting it, which was really, really amazing.
“She kind of came and said hello to the people in the front.”
Lana Del Rey was forced to lead fans in an a capella performance of her final song Video Games, after the power to her microphone was cut out. The US singer mouthed an apology to fans before going down to meet and greet them.
She had previously voiced concerns that she might be forced to finish early, after starting her set 30 minutes late.
“I was so f****** late that I am about to rush this set,” she said.
“If they cut power, they cut power. I’m super f****** sorry, my hair takes so long to do.”
Del Rey was beset with an apparent technical difficulty during her performance, which forced her to restart her song White Mustang.
