    Dizzee Rascal triggered a huge Michael Jackson sing-along as he paid tribute to the star at the Glastonbury Festival today.

    The British grime star interrupted his performance on the Pyramid Stage to play arguably Jackson’s two biggest hits for the crowd.

    “We lost a legend this week. I think we should do something in tribute,” Rascal said, before introducing ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Thriller’.

    Rascal continued to urge the crowd to sing. “Everyone knows the words," he said.

    He then added at the end of the medley: “Serious respect for all the music he left behind.”

    According to Gigwise’s Scott Colothan, the crowd “went nuts” during Rascal’s tribute to the star, who died on Thursday.

    A growing number of musicians are using the Glastonbury Festival to pay their respects to Jackson’s musical legacy.

    Today alone, Spinal Tap and White Lies have spoken about the singer.
