Alex Turner is back on top form despite being struck down by acute laryngitis ahead of Arctic Monkeys’ Glastonbury set.
The rockers headlined on Friday night, taking to the Pyramid Stage to a roaring reception.
It comes after Turner was forced to cancel a gig in Dublin earlier this week, throwing their Glasto slot into uncertainty.
Thankfully, after resting on doctor’s orders, the 37-year-old was able to bounce back, and you’d never even know he was ill.
He led the show in his classic suave style, donning a black suit and white open-collar shirt paired with dark sunglasses.
Addressing the crowd, he said: ‘Greetings, Somerset’, before striking up the chords of Snap Out Of It.
The rock band then rolled through their hit tracks including Don’t Sit Down Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair and Crying Lightning.
The tens of thousands of festival-goers appeared to approve of the set-list as they belted it back to the Sheffield-formed band.
‘The Monkeys are back on the farm… wow,’ Turner said.
Fans at home were also keen to be part of the action, despite not being at Worthy Farm, tweeting along with the set.
One praised Turner’s ‘absolutely ace’ vocals.
‘Alex Turner is excellent. Bloke had no voice a few days ago’, tweeted another.
Another tweeted: ‘alex turner the man that you are!!!!’
‘Crushin on Alex Turner all over again’, another declared unashamedly.
