Meet Alex, The Incredible Rapping Punter Who Won Glastonbury
Glastonbury served up so many memorable moments but it wasn't Stormzy, it wasn't Kylie, it wasn't Miley who delivered the stand-out moment of the world's greatest festival. It was a lad named Alex!
If you haven't seen the clip below, check out the video from UK rapper's Dave set. Dave pulled a kid out of the crowd to perform his song 'Thiago Silva' completely at random. The kid was named Alex Mann. He's from Wales. And he was so feckin' good!
Alex you absolute legend 👏
This kid just smashed @Santandave1 x @ajtracey’s ‘Thiago Silva’ live at #Glastonbury2019 #BBCGlasto 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/psgEjfFVQ5— BBC Radio 1Xtra (@1Xtra) June 30, 2019
Afterwards, Alex was pretty relieved.
Little did he know that he had blown up the internet.
