Scottish music legend Lulu came out with a Boom Bang-a-Bang after performing for the first time at this year’s Gonbury Festival.
The singer, who grew up in Dennistoun, Glasgow, took to the stage at Worthy Farm last night after confirming she would be retiring after a six-decade career at the age of 75 earlier this year.
Their last tour ended at the London Palladium, but The Sun exclusively revealed in April that they would be making their last appearance at the famous music event.
Lulu gave her first and only concert at the festival nine years ago and said goodbye with a massive set at the Field of Avalon where she moved to tears at the reaction of the audience.
She told the crowd, “I’m going to go out there to hold on because I need to sing my best,” as she kicked off her performance at Glastonbury on Friday.
He took a moment to recover after loud applause from the festival’s extremely joyous crowd.
Lulu, whose ten Top Ten singles include “Relight My Fire” with Take That — which reached number one in 1993 — said playing at Worthy Farm was one of the most productive gigs of her career.
She also directed a cover of David Bowie’s song “The Man Who Sold The World” and said releasing an edition helped her “start the process of reinvention. “
And before performing the James Bond theme song, The Man with the Golden Gun, Lulu said she was “very pleased to be a member of the 007 family. “
The legendary pop star wasn’t the only prominent Scot to join the Glasto scene this weekend.
Earlier we explained how it is one of the most famous jokes in rock music, and it is one of Scotland’s all-time sports icons.
And it reappeared strongly this afternoon in the BBC politics of the Glastonbury Festival.
Younger enthusiasts who saw Dexy’s set on the park level were shocked to see the symbol of a naked Scotsman in the bathroom with a pint in his hand.
Those from the older period, a lot.
That’s because Dexy’s, known at the time as Dexy’s Midnight Runners, plays its pavilion from Van Morrison’s Jackie Wilson Said.
This refers to a rendition of the 1982 song on Top of the Pops, where the makers put a photo of Scottish world darts champion Jocky Wilson as a backdrop instead of 1950s American soul singer Jackie.
