It was all going so well for Kanye West, until… (Picture: PA)

Kanye West’s Glastonbury 2015 set may well be remembered for all the wrong reasons following a stage invasion just three songs in to his performance.

Despite speculation that he might turn up late, deliver one of his rants or do something similarly weird, Kanye took to the Pyramid Stage at exactly 10.15pm and for a while, everything went smoothly.

Until – midway through his third song this happened:

While the identity of the stage invader initially wasn’t clear, viewers quickly took to Twitter to suggest that it was comedian Lee Nelson – who attempted to rap along with Kanye before being unceremoniously removed from the stage by security.




But while he certainly had his moment in the spotlight, the rapper didn’t look remotely amused – insisting that he begin his song again once the man had been removed.

Except by then he’d manage to thoroughly milk his moment in the spotlight:

Lee later took to Twitter to confess all.

It’s not the first time that Lee – real name Simon Brodkin – has managed to pull off such a stunt.

The comedian managed a similar stage incursion during the X Factor live shows in 2014, joining Stereo Kicks on stage as they performed the Michael Jackson hit You Are Not Alone.

He has also pulled off similar feats in the world of football, getting himself arrested in 2013 after running on to the pitch at Goodison Park and attempting to warm up with the Manchester City Squad.

He also managed to mingle with the England World Cup Squad at Luton Airport in 2014 before being removed by police.

However we think on this occasion he may have outdone himself…
