Billy Idol and Steve Jones collaborated on stage, combining Generation X and the Sex Pistols.

As they finished their last number, I Did It My Way, fans said they heard Billy say the C-word.

Billy began singing, "And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain," and then he continued, "You C***, get me a beer, I'll state my case of which I am certain."

The rock star then used the F-word as he proceeded to thank the crowd for coming to see them.

"The afterparty is at Stonehenge, I'll see you there. I'm gonna get f***ed up tonight, yeah," Billy told the audience.

Fans were also puzzled as to why the famous singer wore a leather jacket in the hot weather.

One wrote: "Wow did Billy just say c**t?"

A second added: "Generation Sex at Glastonbury 2023 a bit chaotic, shambolic, off-key and all the better for it!"

A third penned: "Billy Idol even dropped the 'C' bomb live on BBC before 5 pm. Magnificent."

A fifth added: "I don't get why he is wearing a leather jacket in this hot weather, LOL?"
