GLASTONBURY, England - Stormzy made history as the first British rapper to headline Glastonbury on Friday, bringing his experience of black urban life to the world’s biggest greenfield music festival in a performance that had the capacity crowd jumping.
The 25-year-old Londoner, whose debut album was released only two years ago, told the audience: “This is the greatest night of my entire life.” Stormzy’s performance ended the first day of music at the festival, held on Worthy Farm in southwest England and a regular fixture of the British summer calendar since the 1970s.
George Ezra, the deep-voiced English singer-songwriter, had earlier brought along his own rug and stool to make the famous Pyramid Stage feel like home.Lauryn Hill preceded Ezra on the same stage, igniting the crowd at the end of her set with “Doo-Wop ” from her 1998 solo album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”, and “Killing Me Softly”, the hit she sang as a member of the Fugees.
