Stormzy rocked a Banksy-designed vest during his Glastonbury performance
"I made a customised stab-proof vest and thought - who could possibly wear this? Stormzy at Glastonbury"
Enigmatic artist Banksy has revealed that he designed the stabproof vest that Stormzy wore during the first part of his headline set at Glastonbury.
In an Instagram post, the Bristolian wrote, "I made a customised stab-proof vest and thought - who could possibly wear this? Stormzy at Glastonbury."
The rapper confirmed this via his own Instagram post, in which he referred to Banksy as "the greatest, most iconic living artist on planet earth," and gave thanks to those who featured in, and contributed to, his Glastonbury performance, including Coldplay's Chris Martin, Jay-Z, Dave and Fredo.
With the performance, Stormzy made history as the first black British solo artist to headline Glastonbury. He also became the second youngest solo act to headline the festival at 25 years old, only beaten by David Bowie who headlined in 1971 as a 24-year-old.

During his set, he also performed his latest single 'Crown', which was co-produced by UK garage legend MJ Cole.
