Damon Albarn lamented the result of the EU referendum at Glastonbury this morning, saying, “Democracy has failed us.”
The Blur frontman performed a solo set to open the Pyramid Stage today, and took the chance to rail against the news that the UK will leave the European Union. "I have a very heavy heart today,” he told the crowd, “because to my mind, democracy has failed us. Democracy has failed us because we were ill-informed.”
He added, ”And I just want all of you to know, that when we leave here, we can change that decision. It is possible,” - though he failed to explain how.
