Katy Perry delighted fans at Glastonbury and caused havoc among Pyramid Stage security staff by ending her set with a freewheeling crowd surf. The pop star, with 6.5 million record sales and 14 US top tens under her belt, earned the biggest cheer of her performance by leaping into the arms of those hardened fans who had spent all day waiting by the barriers to watch her show from as close as possible, all while yellow confetti blew over the crowd.
Perry, making a boisterous debut at the festival, finished her set in silence as a rapt crowd watched the screens to see when she would return to the stage side of the barrier. As a result, her closing song, Roar, ended with a somewhat muted thud.
