Rizzle Kicks opened The Other Stage at Glastonbury 2019 with a huge, hit-filled set – and frontman Jordan Stephens’ mum made a surprise appearance
A surprise guest stole the show at Rizzle Kicks’ performance on The Other Stage. As the musicians took to the stage at Glastonbury fans went wild as Jordan Stephens made a special announcement.
He introduced his mum mid-way through the set and she made a memorable appearance on stage. She donned a green wig during their hit ‘Mama Do the Hump’, prompting Stephens to exclaim, “Give it up for my mum!” The ecstatic crowd went wild with cheers.
Even the renowned DJ Fatboy Slim, who joined the duo on stage, couldn’t match the enthusiasm sparked by Stephens’ mum. Despite the chaos, with thousands of fans packed in and jostling to get closer to the stage, the set list was full to bursting.
Among those played were fan favourites like ‘Lost Generation’, ‘When I Was a Youngster’, along with some of their latest tracks.
In a tongue-in-cheek moment, Stephens stood on a podium labelled “LOSER” during the song ‘When I was a Youngster’. However, judging by the crowd’s adoration, Rizzle Kicks are definitely winners in their eyes, reports Somerset Live.
Elsewhere on Friday, Lewis Capaldi made a surprise comeback. The Scottish singer returned to the stage after a two-year hiatus.
Earlier today, Lewis released a new song called Survive. Alongside his announcement post, Lewis shared a video and captioned it: “It’s been a while.”
The new song is full of emotion with lyrics including “I swear to God I’ll survive” and “I’m going to get up and live until the day that I die,” his first new release since stepping out of the spotlight because of his mental health.
Lewis has been open about his mental health and hypochondria in recent years. .In 2022, he said: “If I’m having a panic attack there’s nobody else that can help me out of it except my mum, for sure.
“My mum has had to sleep in my bed as recently as a month ago because of how bad my anxiety got at one point. But I think that was alcohol related to be honest, I had been on a bit of a bender.”
He went on: “It never really reached a tipping point until after getting famous, I never had a panic attack until after I was famous, or after I was a musician or after I got to a height.
“The hypochondria – I guess looking back, I was such an anxious kid, but now because I understand it a lot more with therapy and I speak about it a lot more with people and try to learn more about it, I look back at it and think the behaviour was a result of anxiety.”
