00:00 Six months after headlining Glastonbury, Lana Del Rey reflected on getting her mic cut short
00:04 due to curfew.
00:05 Many fans have been long awaiting to hear from the singer on her thoughts on this viral
00:08 situation.
00:09 Lana Del Rey just admitted how she really felt about that night speaking with the Sunday
00:17 Times.
00:18 At the time, the singer was in the middle of performing popular breakout song "Video
00:21 Games" on June 24th when the clock struck midnight and she was cut short.
00:25 It's Anil Wani reporting.
00:26 Lana Del Rey admitted she was very confused when festival organizers cut power to her
00:30 microphone before turning off the stage screens at Glastonbury months ago.
00:35 The singer mentioned, "I've heard of curfews before, but I didn't know they actually
00:38 turned the lights off."
00:39 After the event organizers cut the performance, Del Rey tried to continue acapella but was
00:44 escorted off the stage.
00:45 The singer went on to mention that she didn't "feel great" about it and felt confused
00:49 because she did not think she was in a position where someone exclaimed if she wasn't done
00:53 in time, everything would simply go out.
00:55 Lana's set ended up going 15 minutes past curfew, to which she claimed a situation like
00:59 this does not happen to other artists.
01:17 Lana defended her decision to prioritize her appearances for performances.
01:21 According to the singer, her hair took 30 minutes longer than it typically takes on
01:25 that day.
01:26 The singer returned to England weeks after the incident to play the final night of BST
01:29 Hyde Park.
01:30 According to outlets, Del Rey spoke about the incident from Glastonbury after performing
01:34 Candy Necklace.
01:35 The singer was 20 minutes late to the performance, but she still managed to complete the set
01:39 before curfew.
01:40 Once getting to the song "Video Games" where she was cut off at Glastonbury, she
01:44 addressed the crowd saying, "I think this is where I got cut off last time.
01:48 Sorry about that.
01:49 It's worth it, even if you get the power cut.
01:51 It's worth it."
01:52 There's been no official statement from Glastonbury since the incident.
01:55 Many compared the performance getting cut unfair to other artists at Coachella, where
01:59 Calvin Harris went long after curfew multiple times.
02:02 However, the event did in the end have to pay hefty fines for going over curfew.
