<p>The revered rapper and singer is well known for her lax time-keeping and kept the crowd at the Pyramid Stage waiting by about 15 minutes after her scheduled 6pm start.</p>
<p>However, fans did not seem to mind and gave an enthusiastic welcome to Hill, who made her name in 90s hip-hop band the Fugees before announcing herself as a solo artist with her critically acclaimed 1998 debut album The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.</p>
<p>Wearing a black cowboy-style hat with pearl chain strap, a coat with ruffled details and high-waisted trousers, Hill asked fans if they were “ready to take it back”, before launching into a performance of Lost Ones from her Miseducation album.</p>
<p>She said: <em>“We appreciate all of you who rolled with us.”</em></p>
<p>Throughout her performance, Hill, 44, appeared visibly upset about the sound set-up, gesturing forcefully to the technicians off stage.</p>
<p>She repeatedly raised her hand to her earpiece, signalling she was not happy with what she was hearing.</p>
<p>Some fans on Twitter complained about her performance and Hill was trending due to the sound issues.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">It&#39;s a shame seeing Lauryn Hill like this&#8230;. sound man wasnt having it. Still an Icon on my eyes tho <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/glastonburyfestival2019?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#glastonburyfestival2019</a></p>

<p>Another commented: “Was really looking forward to Lauryn Hill at #glastonburyfestival2019 but the constant pulling on her in ears and wafting her arms at the sound tech ruined it.”</p>

<p>And another said: <em>“Think lauryn hill might knock out the sound engineer on her way off stage.”</em></p>

<p>However, the reception from the Glastonbury audience was more enthusiastic and Hill received a rapturous reception when performing Killing Me Softly.</p>
<p>Perhaps her best-known track, the song was a number one hit for Roberta Flack in 1973 before the Fugees covered it in 1996.</p>
<p>Before launching into a performance of Ex-Factor, form her seminal Miseducation album, New Jersey-born Hill discussed the influences on her career.</p>
<p>She said: <em>“So when I was growing up, I had this wonderful tradition of classic soul music passed down to me.</em></p>
<p><em>“I grew up listening to musicians like Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Four Tops, Temptations.</em></p>
<p><em>“I had this wonderful tradition of music that I played as a small child, maybe seven years old, I was listening to this music on a daily basis. This was my school, taught me about love, taught me about life.</em></p>
<p><em>“At the same time I had hip-hop music playing in this other ear. When it was my time to create a project of my own, I wanted to combine these two musical influences for me.</em></p>
<p><em>“I wanted this classic, soulful sound, with these complex love stories combined with these heavy and hard-hitting hip-hop drums, and it produced music like this one.”</em></p>
<p>Glastonbury Festival takes place in Worth Farm, Somerset, and continues until Sunday.</p>
