Kanye West forced to restart song after stage INVASION at Glastonbury
KANYE WEST was forced to restart one of his songs during his headline Glastonbury slot tonight after a prankster invaded the stage mid-track.
Kanye West saw his performance at Glastonbury invaded
The outspoken US rapper had just begun his slot on the coveted Pyramid stage when a man dressed in a white t-shirt and black baggy jeans burst on to the stage.
A puzzled Kanye seemed utterly baffled by the seemingly uninvited guest, who was also carrying a microphone and later discovered to be comedian Lee Nelson.
He was swiftly removed from the stage by a security guard after they realised he was not part of the act.
But instead of storming off stage in typical Kanye fashion, the 38-year-old rapper simply demanded "start that again" and started performing his song Black Skinhead again from the beginning.

Those watching his set from the comfort of their home took to Twitter to poke fun at the mishap.
One person tweeted: "Hahahaha someone ran on stage in front of Kanye, that right there is goals."
While another said: "Love the guy that just ran on stage with kanye."
Others seemed to be more concerned for the stage invader's safety.
A tweet read: "That man who ran on stage will have pissed Kanye off so much."
Shortly before the incident took place, telly prankster Lee Nelson tweeted about Kanye's set and said he would "give him a hand".

The British funny man, whose real name is Simon Brodkin, made headlines last year when he crashed the stage while boyband Stereo Kicks were performing on The X Factor.
Throughout his set, which was aired by the BBC, Kanye made it clear that he was running the show by refusing to censor his own lyrics for offensive words.
Earlier this week the bookies had slashed the odds of him being booed off stage to 2/1.
