A video shows the unkempt star nodding his head and struggling to keep his eyes open during the gig.

The unshaven ace was slumped in a seat and looked sweaty as he repeatedly chewed.

Weary Becks tries to sing along to the music, shaking his head as the singer belts out Bill Wither’s classic Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone.

A source behind the Pyramid Stage on Sunday told The Sun: “David Beckham looked as though the festival had caught up with him.

“It was amusing to see him gurning away.

“He couldn’t stay awake or keep his eyes open, then suddenly he’d roll his head and try to mouth a few words to the music.

“It was very funny to watch such a famous celebrity in such a state.

Becks, 42, can be seen in footage clasping his hands together during Glastonbury’s finale, which was watched on TV by millions of people worldwide.

He donned a trendy tracksuit top and a trilby hat and was sat next to wife Victoria, 43, who could be seen waving her arms in the air during the 90 minute acoustic set.

Beckham’s struggle to stay awake might explain why his first Glastonbury was marred by a big row between the couple.

The Sun revealed the pair fell out hours after Victoria arrived at the famous festival by helicopter.

Son Brooklyn, 18, stepped in to be peacekeeper, telling him “don’t worry dad, I’ll get you a drink”, before fetching a double gin and tonic.

A shocked onlooker revealed: “Victoria wasn’t happy about being left alone in the VIP area. She was hanging around on her own for ages with minder types.

“Then David came back and Victoria had a go at him and they were separated for a period.

“It was really awkward. Brooklyn came over to try and keep the peace.

“He said to David: ‘Don’t worry dad I’ll get you a drink.’ He then ordered him a double gin and tonic.”

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star may have been sleepy after staying out to party during the weekend with Brooklyn until 5am with Rita Ora and Cara Delevingne.

But the Beckhams got together to watch pal Ed Sheeran’s set, in front of 200,000 festival goers.

And they managed to take some snaps which they shared on social media.

The Sun also told how Becks lost his cool and had an outburst at a fan who tried to take a photo of him in a VIP bar on Worthy Farm.

He hurled abuse at the starstruck festival-goer when he spotted them snapping him from across the backstage Park Bar on Friday, barging over to them shouting: “Don’t you dare!”

Hit-maker Ed Sheeran confessed to being “very nervous but very excited” about his Glastonbury performance.

He opened the performance with Castle On The Hill, followed by Eraser and A-Team, before covering Stevie Wonder’s Superstition and the Bill Wither’s classic.
