Watch Kanye West Cover Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" at Glastonbury
FUSE TV - Watch Kanye West Cover Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" at Glastonbury
In 2008, Jay Z faced a bunch of racist, rockist bullshit—led by Oasis' Noel Gallagher—when his Glastonbury Festival headlining set was announced. Hov ended up hitting the English stage with a guitar in hand and a shit-eating grin on his face, covering "Wonderwall." It dropped into "99 Problems"; mic was dropped, history was made (along with an essential bootleg).
In 2015, Kanye West faced the same antagonistic, narrow-minded fuckery when his Glastonbury headlining set was announced. On Saturday, when the moment came, 'Ye took the stage with his own smashes—a merciless string of god-level hits and life-affirming head-crushers like "Stronger," "Power," "N---as in Paris," "Black Skinhead," "All Day"—and burned through an unequivocally flawless setlist.
Then, as a dessert, or an after-thought, right toward closing time, Kanye West did "Bohemian Rhapsody."
