Celeb MUSIC » Beyonce Closes Out the 2011 Glastonbury Festival
Bringing an end to the music extravaganza that's the Glastonbury Festival, Beyonce Knowles closed out the annual event in Glastonbury, UK on Sunday (June 26).
The 29-year-old beauty commanded the Pyramid stage as she treated the audience to a lineup of past hits and new songs from her upcoming album "4" while also joined by special guest Tricky Stewart.
During her set, Miss Knowles thanked the audience for their support, saying, "I want you all to know right now you're witnessing my dream. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for having me and my band tonight."
She continued, "I always wanted to be a rock star and tonight we are all rock stars. I want you to forget about your worries, forget about your troubles. I want you to get lost in this music tonight. I want to make beautiful memories and be free tonight."
While there were some Glastonbury fans upset with the choice of Beyonce as a closer, Glastonbury founder and organizer Michael Eavis had no doubts about his selection.
Prior to the show, he told press, "She's going to be brilliant. She's got plenty of support - she has Jay Z with her, and Chris Martin and Gwyneth [Paltrow]. She'll do very well, I'm sure."
