Comic Lee Nelson In Kanye West Stage Invasion At Glastonbury

Rapper gets a taste of his own medicine during headline slot...

He's famous for high-profile stage invasions himself, so it was just as well that Kanye West didn't get too hot and bothered when his headline set at Glastonbury was interrupted by an interloper last night.

Fans were intrigued when a white man wearing a backwards baseball cap and holding a mic strode on stage to join Yeezy - with some thinking the rumoured appearance from Eminem was actually happening.

So there was confusion when the man, who had seemed like part of the show, was bundled offstage and Kanye told the band to "start over".

However things were cleared up shortly afterwards when it became clear that the rapper had been targeted by serial prankster Lee Nelson (aka Simon Brodkin), wearing a T-shirt which amusingly said "Lee-zus".

As for Kanye's set - which had been the focus of so much anger from rock fans - it was a dramatic effort with a huge slab light suspended low over the star's head (perhaps to ward off dubious flying bottles?).

The Eminem appearance never materialised, but he was joined by Bon Iver musician Justin Vernon for a heartfelt rendition of Lost In The World - which also saw him pay tribute to wife Kim Kardashian, who was watching.

"Earlier we were running through hit songs, but this song was extra special to me, so we're not going to run through this s**t in two minutes like some radio version," he told the crowd.

"When I was working on Dark Fantasy, I was trying to explain to a girl who I love so much how much I loved her, and I didn't have any words to this record - but we loved the beat.

"Actually in an email I wrote this to her - I said, 'You're my heaven, you're my heaven, you're my freedom, you're my jail'. It was like she brought this poetry out of me, I ended up becoming what the lyrics were.

"And eventually, she ended up becoming my wife and she's here tonight."

Awww!
