The Blur frontman was the very first to tackle the EU referendum outcome
Photo: Danny Payne 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 right now, and took the chance to rail against the news that the UK will leave the European Union. “I have a very heavy heart right now,” he told the crowd, “because to my thoughts, democracy has failed us. Democracy has failed us since we were ill-informed.”

He added, ”And I just want all of you to know, that when we leave here, we can alter that selection. It is possible,” – although he failed to explain how.
