Fans of Britney Spears were disappointed when she didn't show up for Sir Elton John's Glastonbury headline set.

Sir Elton John's headliner set at Glastonbury 2023 was an amazing spectacle in every sense of the word. As fans across the globe marveled at the performance, some were holding out hope that Britney Spears would show up as one of his special guests. After all, Sir Elton and Britney had collaborated on their duet Hold Me Closer in 2022, marking a huge milestone in Britney's career and her first release of new music since her conservatorship ended.

Unfortunately, the 76-year-old welcomed four other performers to join him on stage - Jacob Lusk from Gabriels and London Community Gospel Choir, Stephen Sanchez, The Killers’ frontman Brandon Flowers and Rina Sawayama - but there was no sign of Britney, Dua Lipa or Rocketman star Taron Egerton. This, of course, left Britney stans sorely disappointed.

"Just sat through 2 hours of Elton John waiting for Britney Spears, to no avail. Sad and disappointed," one fan tweeted. Another added, "So Britney is doing spinnies in her front room and I'm sat waiting for her to appear with Elton."

The disappointment was further fuelled when Britney shared a post on Instagram with a caption of Union Jack flags, as well as uploading a picture appearing to pay homage to the Pyramid Stage. However, in the end, Britney chose to stay at home and dance on Instagram rather than make her return to the stage at Glastonbury.

Ultimately, fans were blown away by Sir Elton's set and it marked a huge milestone for him, as it could be his final ever gig in the UK. Despite being disappointed that their predictions of a Britney performance were misplaced, some had a premonition that it was never going to happen. "Me when Britney doesn't perform with Elton and see all of you having meltdowns because you still haven't learnt your lesson," one person tweeted.

It's clear that Glastonbury 2023 will go down in history for all the right reasons, and it's only a matter of time before the world is graced by Britney's presence on stage once again.
