Becky Hill hits back at booing crowd during surprise festival set as she addresses viral video
BECKY Hill has hit back at the crowd that booed her during her surprise festival set as she addressed a viral video.
The pop star, 32, was treated badly at the weekend after she vowed to play only new songs at her secret set at TRNSMT.
Speaking about the viral video that showed the crowd, she has now said: “Getting booed is not nice.
“I haven’t found a single one of these easy, it’s really upsetting.
“Because I love this job and that’s not making me love it as much as I usually do.”
Speaking directly to the camera she added: “I wanted to bring a new and exclusive thirty minute set of brand new music to a festival crowd unannouced.
“I thought it would be a great opportunity to play the new music I’ve been working so hard on.
“And I personally love so much.”
She then thanked the team at the festival for giving her that stage and also the crowd of people who you stayed and danced with her right until the very end.
She added: “It was amazing to have such a captive audience who wanted to hear the new stuff too.
“I said on stage how difficult it is to transition into a new single, and new music and new albums.
“And all this conversation online is exactly what I meant.
“I’m not a jukebox, I’m an artist and the tickets at TRNSMT were not sold with my name as part of the line-up.
“And I wanted to do something new, artistically driven.”
Becky explained that she doesn’t normally get the opportunity to do that much in her career.
She added: “But trust me when my name is on the poster I will always sing the tunes that people know and love.”
“I feel really grateful to have those records in my catalogue,” she explained.
The singer concluded that in order to have a long career she needed to have new music and thanked those that stayed to listen to her.
The pop star has no shortage of hits to choose from, with 19 top 40 singles, six top 10s and a number one to her name.
Becky played her new track Daddy’s Range Rover at TRANSMT which hits out at Jack Whitehall for mocking her when he hosted last year’s Brit Awards.
The pair have since buried the hatchet and Jack admitted he apologised to Becky for calling her “Wetherspoons Whitney”.
Addressing her fans while performing earlier this year, she said: “I’ve had enough of all this s*** so I wrote about it.
