Amy Winehouse performed at the Glastonbury festival over the weekend and attacked a fan during a song.

Jay-Z mocked Noel Gallagher during his Glastonbury performance on Saturday night. The rapper hit back at the British rocker’s claims that hip-hop wasn’t right for the festival by opening with a cover of Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’.

After ‘Wonderwall’, Jay-Z blew away the huge audience with a blistering performance which included his hit ‘99 Problems’ and a rendition of Amy Winehouse’s ‘Rehab’. He told the crowd: “For those that didn’t get the memo my name is Jay-Z and I’m pretty f***ing awesome.” Towards the end of his performance, the star - whose wife Beyonce Knowles watched from the side of the stage - asked the crowd what they thought of his appearance.

He said: “So, I hear you guys didn’t want me here tonight? “They said you weren’t into hip-hop. One question Glastonbury, ‘Where is the love?’ “
