US pop artist Lana Del Rey's set at the Glastonbury music festival had a dramatic end! The singer showed up for her performance about a half-hour late and her mic was cut an hour later when curfew arrived. Since she still had six songs to go, she tried to sing a cappella with her dismayed fans but was eventually escorted off stage by security.
Later, she appeared to blame the delay on her hair, saying, "My hair takes so long to do." She also added that she was "super sorry" for the delay, according to the BBC.
Her set was beset by technical difficulties, one of which forced Lana to restart her song "White Mustang".Her hair and makeup also had to be attended to during her performance.
