An extremely emotional performance from the Australian pop sensation.

Pop star Kylie Minogue held back the tears as she performed at Glastonbury on Sunday evening, in an extremely emotional performance. Minogue referenced a time in her life back in 2005, where she was unable to perform at Glastonbury Festival, as she had been recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Speaking to an adoring crowd on Sunday, Minogue said: "In 2005 I was meant to be here. Circumstances meant that I did not make it." As the crowd chanted her name, she became emotional and had to compose herself before describing how she'd watched the 2005 festival from afar, due to her illness. "I wished things were different - but life is what it is." She spoke about how back in 2005, Coldplay played instead of her, and how everything had come full circle this year, as Chris Martin came out and accompanied her as she started singing the classic song 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'.

He sang a powerful duet with Stormzy on Friday night. Stormzy has been widely praised for his performance, with many seeing it as the highlight of the entire festival.
