Sure, the Foo Fighters delivered an incredible set at Glastonbury this year, but fans were as enamoured with their sign language interpreter.
After announcing a surprise concert at the Worthy Farm festival, the rock band headed to the Pyramid Stage on Friday night.
Following weeks of suspicion that they were behind The Churnups identity – an unknown band that inexplicably surfaced on this year’s line-up – they put on a display, leaving revellers gasping for air after rocking out to all of their classics.
As the show aired live on BBC iPlayer, a BSL (British Sign Language) version was also made available, ensuring that no one missed out on the Glasto excitement this year.
Three interpreters were assigned to translate the Foos’ songs into sign language, with one lady in particular attracting people’s attention.
She seemed like she was having a great time, rocking out with amusing facial expressions and performing tiny boogies throughout the instrumentals.

The Foo Fighters’ concert was extremely touching, with founder Dave, 54, pausing to pay respect to late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died last year at the age of 50.
‘I would like to dedicate this song to Mr Taylor Hawkins,’ the lead vocalist said before belting out Everlong.
‘So, let’s sing this one loud,’ he told the thousands-strong crowd, who burst into a chant of Hawkins’ name.
