Kendrick Lamar has closed his Glastonbury set with an emotional speech thanking fans, followed by a performance of ‘Savior’.At the end of the ‘Mr.

Morale And The Big Steppers’ track, he repeated the chant: “They judge you, they judged Christ. Godspeed for women’s rights”, before promptly leaving the stage as fake blood poured down from his crown of thorns.The chant is significant because of the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v.

Wade (June 24). Multiple musicians have referenced the ruling during their Glastonbury sets, including Billie Eilish, Lorde and Phoebe Bridgers.Lamar opened his set with an instrumental interlude from ‘Savior’ before launching into ‘United In Grief’.

Elsewhere, he played ‘Count Me Out’ and ‘N95’, as well as hits like ‘Humble’ and ‘Alright’.He was joined by dancers throughout, both men dressed in black trousers and white shirts like Kendrick, and women in flowing red dresses.After performing ‘Love’, he said: “On behalf of me and my team, I want to thank every individual out here tonight.
