‘I’ve wasted two hours of my life watching an Elton John concert’: Britney Spears fans devastated after she fails to make an appearance at Glastonbury despite ‘dropping hints’
Elton John’s Glastonbury gig has been hailed as one of the best headline acts of all time after he whipped up the crowds on Sunday night.
Yet not everyone was pleased with the performance, with Britney Spears fans left devastated after she failed to appear despite rumours she would perform a duet with Elton.
Britney previously joined forces with Elton on their 2022 track Hold Me Closer, her first track since her 13-year conservatory ended, and fans were convinced she would show up to Worthy Farm to perform the single.
However, it was The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers who appeared to sing the duet, being one of the four special guests that Elton had teased.
The remaining surprise guests were Jacob Lusk of Gabriels and The London Community Gospel Choir who performed Are You Ready For Love?; Stephen Sanchez who sang Until I Found You and Brit-nominated singer Rina Sawayama, who performed Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.

Taking to Twitter during the act, some viewers confessed they had only tuned in to watch Britney and that they’d ‘wasted’ time watching Elton’s show.
Fans shared: ‘I really thought Britney was going to join elton john on stage. #Glastonbury’; ‘Just sat through 2 hours of elton john waiting for britney spears, to no avail. Sad and disappointed ‘; ‘dua lipa and britney no shows at elton’s glastonbury set???’
‘I will lose the plot if Britney performs tonight with Elton’; ‘Listen I love Britney with my whole heart but the idea that ‘she can’t be appearing with Elton to do Hold Me Closer at Glasto because she wouldn’t have had time to rehearse’ is so funny because rehearse what? It’s Britney she’d walk on, lip sync her verse, bop on the spot and go.’;
‘Feel bad for the pop girls fans who were hoping to see Britney and Dua perform with Elton at Glastonbury. Still, atleast there’s Kylie at Manchester Pride to look forward to’; ‘Kinda glad she didn’t perform with Elton tonight, her comeback Performance should be all Britney’; ‘Elton bringing Rina and 2 random men out on stage and not the Princess of Pop Britney Spears?’
Last month, fans were convinced Britney would be heading the UK after she ‘dropped a hint’ about the upcoming Glastonbury show.
Taking to social media, the Baby One More Time hitmaker, 41, uploaded a picture of an apple carved into what looks to be the St. George’s flag.
In addition, she captioned the post with three Union Jack emoji’s, no doubt sending the rumour mills further into overdrive.
The star also shared a portrait of a McDonalds meal alongside more Union Jack flags, further teasing the collaboration.

Despite Britney fans being disappointed, Sir Elton’s final performance of his last UK tour was hailed by fans as the ‘best Glastonbury headliner ever’ as he closed the show on Sunday night.
The superstar singer, 76, tearfully took to Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage for the final UK show of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
After hundreds of thousands gathered at Worthy Farm and millions tuned in to watch Elton’s final farewell, fans have branded the performance a triumph.
One person said that after promising to perform ‘hit after hit’, Elton ultimately delivered during his two hour set.
The ‘life-affirming’ set was watched by his husband David Furnish and their children, as well as celebrity pals including David Walliams and the Spice Girls, who were reportedly set to join him for a glitzy after party following the show.
Stars including Paul McCartney, Taron Egerton and Andrew Garfield were also spotted backstage watching the show before attending Elton’s bash.
