Just back from the #PlaygroundFestival in Glasgow, a cracking day/night apart from the appalling #Laurynhill who came on stage an hour and 15minutes late then played four shite songs before pissing off again. So-called headline act? Nah, she got the booing she deserved. — Steven Lawson (@stevenelawson) August 3, 2019
Apparently, while Lauryn was on stage, she whined to the crowd that they should be grateful she was even playing the concert because she was there instead of with her son, who was celebrating his 22nd birthday, according to Glasgow Live. Uhm, so Lauryn didn’t know it was her son’s birthday when she booked the gig? Also, he’s turning 22, not 2. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t need to celebrate his birthday with his mother in the late evening hours, as most 22-year-olds prefer to celebrate their birthdays at a bar or club or house party with their friends … not their parents. After pissing a whole bunch of white Scottish people off, Lauryn took to her Facebook page to offer yet another apology as she promised to make it up to Glasgow fans. “My sincere apologies Glasgow for the late show and shorter set,” she wrote. “I appreciate the energy and support I did receive from the great crowd, and the patience of the promoters. “I hope to come back and make it up to the Glasgow audience. It is only with great respect and Love for my art and the audience that I take the stage every performance.” She concluded: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in Europe, the crowds have been great and incredibly receptive. I look forward to my upcoming shows in Poland, Italy, Denmark, and the UK. Again, thank you, and my sincerest apologies for that shorter set.”#PlaygroundFestival Hi, can I ask why Lauren Hill came on so late? For us, the entire day was a little spoiled because she has no concept of time.. and she wasn’t that great when she did bother to come on.
Sorry, I take no pleasure from being this negative. — michael dunne (@dunnemike3) August 3, 2019
