SUMMERTIME SADNESS Lana Del Rey arrives late on stage for BST Hyde Park gig before breaking silence on Glastonbury boos with cheeky joke

SINGER Lana Del Rey made frustrated fans laugh with a cheeky gag after turning up late to her BST Hyde Park gig.

Crowds moaned she hadn’t appeared when her set was meant to start at 8.40p on Sunday night.

It came weeks after she was booed for her delay headlining The Other Stage at Glastonbury. Lana had blamed being half an hour late on her hair taking too long.

In a nod to the incident on stage last night, Lana brought her hairdresser out to finish her hair as she performed. Fans who had been annoyed at her late start saw the funny side.

One said: “Lana del Rey at Hyde Park this evening poking all the fun with her getting her hair done live mid performance and announcing “this is where I got cut off last time.”

Another said: “Lana Del Rey getting her hair done live on stage was pretty funny. Great gig at Hyde Park – completely adored by the crowd.”

“Watched Lana Del Rey having her hair done tonight, not bad TBF,” joked another. Others were less impressed when they were forced to wait 20 minutes after her scheduled start time.

One fan said: “Lana Del Rey late again.” Another joked: “Lana Del Late.”

“Only 20 minutes late is this some sort of new record for Lana,” said another. Someone else said: “Lana, what’s your excuse for being late this time?”

A fan added: “Can always count on Lana to be late.” A fortnight on from her drama at Glastonbury, the Summertime Sadness singer poked fun of the controversy on stage.

When introducing her track Diet Mountain Dew, Lana joked: “I think this is where I got cut off last time. Sorry about that.” Lana’s Glastonbury set was abruptly ended at midnight because she had overrun.

She led a singalong with the crowd to finish her performance before being escorted off by security in order to halt the gig. Arriving on stage at Glastonbury, Lana apologised to fans.

She said: “I was so f***ing late that I am about to rush this set today. If they cut the power, then they cut power, then I’m super f***ing sorry.

“My hair take so long to do. Let’s do the set as it’s supposed to go.” Lana Del Rey was the final act of another hugely successful BST Hyde Park 2023, presented by American Express.

For its 10th anniversary year, legendary headliners including P!NK, Guns N’ Roses and Take That delivered unforgettable performances.
