Stormzy is a star in the UK and has the following to prove it. He’s the first black solo artist headlining at Glastonbury, but who’d have thought that a pop concert with tens of thousands of people–and no Kanye–would become a worship service? The lyrics are spectacular and the whole scene is profoundly moving.

   “He’s the first black solo artist headlining at Glastonbury”. Kanye West headlined in 2015

     So it seems this claim is a bit of a controversy. I was following the Guardian article (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jun/29/stormzy-historic-glastonbury-performance), but it appears that Skin beat him to it in 1999 (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jul/02/love-and-respect-stormzy-apologises-over-glastonbury-headline-black-british).
