“The greatest rock star on the planet” had an epic stage invasion

This is probably the most awkward moment we’re seen in a long time.

Last night, hip-hop extraordinaire Kanye West took to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury festival. The always cool and collected fashion mogul and music genius didn’t quite have everything go to plan though.

While he opened with his hit Stronger and the crowd went absolutely wild, things took a bit of a turn not long after.

Remember that time Kanye stormed the stage to interrupt Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech? How could you forget? Anyway, yesterday Kanye got a taste of his own medicine when comedian Lee Nelson crashed the stage during his performance.

Lee was wearing a white T-shirt with Kanye’s album name Yeezus printed on it, except, not quite. Lee had customised his own shirt to read ‘Lee-zus’, witty.

Before the concert, Lee had tweeted a message about the gig, which had been hotly protested with almost 134,000 people signing a petition for Kanye not to be a headline act at Glastonbury this year.

It didn’t matter though, as despite Lee even arriving on stage with his own microphone, he was quickly escorted away from Yeezy himself by security.

In a rather awkward moment, Kanye then demanded that his song be started over again from the beginning.

Then there was the moment he forgot some of the words to Bohemian Rhapsody after getting the thousands strong crowd to join in a huge singalong. You had one job Kanye….

That didn’t stop some of his most famous supported from enjoying the show, wife Kim was on hand to make sure there was plenty of photographed memories.

Step-sister in-law Kendall Jenner was also spotted having the time of her life in the crowd alongside super model bestie Cara Delevingne.

Those who couldn’t make it to the festival didn’t suffer too much FOMO though. The BBC subtitles of Kanye’s performance were enough to keep hundreds of twitter users in good spirits all night long.
