Watch Kanye West Play With Bon Iver, Cover Queen At Glastonbury

He promised new music with Justin Vernon.

June 27, 2015

Kanye West's highly anticipated (and vilified) headlining set at Glastonbury didn't go off without a hitch, but it successfully married the domains of the ostentatious and the hype like only Yeezy can. There were some key moments, like Justin Vernon of Bon Iver coming through with the vocals on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy's "Lost In The Woods." Kanye called him "one of the baddest white boys on the planet" and said they'd been working on music together. Kanye also revealed that his verse on the song came from an email he wrote to Kim Kardashian during the album's recording. Hold onto that email, Kim, it'll be worth something some day!

'Ye also covered Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." He forgot some of the words, but he had just come down from a cherry picker after performing a couple songs. So maybe he was jet lagged.
