Mumford & Sons Close 2013 Glastonbury Festival

Mumford & Sons closed the 2013 Glastonbury Festival last night (June 30) with a little help from their friends. 

 

The folk band took to the Pyramid Stage to perform tracks from their million-selling album Sigh No More and No.1 LP Babel - much to the delight of the Glasto crowd. 

 

 

Songs such as I Will Wait, Little Lion Man and new single, Whispers In The Dark went down a storm, as the gig marked the first time they've performed together since bassist Ted Dwane was taken to hospital for a blood clot.

 

Referencing Dwane's recent health woes, frontman Marcus Mumford thanked the crowd for their support, stating: " And Ted's f**king alive, isn't he?"

 

Keyboard player Ben Lovett also paid homage to Glasto organiser Michael Eavis and his family "for letting us be complete idiots on their farm for a couple of days".

 

 

Closing their set with The Cave, the group then returned to the stage with The Vaccines, Vampire Weekend and The Staves in tow to sing a rendition of The Beatles' With a Little Help From My Friends - bringing an epic close to this year's Glasto.
