Dizzee Rascal Triggers Huge Michael Jackson Sing-Along At Glastonbury Festival

June 27, 2009
Dizzee Rascal Triggers Huge Michael Jackson Sing-Along At Glastonbury FestivalDizzee Rascal triggered a huge Michael Jackson sing-along as he paid tribute to the star at the Glastonbury Festival today.

The British grime star interrupted his performance on the Pyramid Stage to play arguably Jackson’s two biggest hits for the crowd.

“We lost a legend this week. I think we should do something in tribute,” Rascal said, before introducing ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Thriller’.

Rascal continued to urge the crowd to sing. “Everyone knows the words," he said.

He then added at the end of the medley: “Serious respect for all the music he left behind.”

A growing number of musicians are using the Glastonbury Festival to pay their respects to Jackson’s musical legacy.
