Ahead of his Glastonbury headline performance tonight (28 June), Stormzy has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity.

Stormzy has shared a heartfelt message ahead of his Glastonbury headline slot tonight.

Writing on Twitter, Stormzy revealed, "I am the first black British artist to headline Glastonbury. At 25 years old I am the second youngest solo act to ever headline Glastonbury, the youngest being a 24 year old David Bowie in 1971. I’m overwhelmed with emotions, this is the most surreal feeling I’ve ever experienced."

In a separate tweet, Stormzy added, "I feel my entire life has lead to this moment. Can’t explain or fathom what this all is but I am 100% sure this is all God and his favour. Giving him all the glory. Thank you to Emily & Mike Eavis for believing in me I can’t wait to see you and hug you both thank you so much."

Last week Stormzy shared new single "Crown", his first after April's "Vossi Bop", which landed the rapper his first UK Number One single.

The rapper recently appeared on MoStack's "Shine Girl", and has a new single on Ed Sheeran's No.6 Collaborations Project, titled "Take Me Back to London".
