In other Bonnaroo-related news, Metallica stormed through their Friday night slot to widespread praise, while MIA claimed her performance would be her "last show ever". However, in an interview with Nymag.com following the gig, the rapper made it clear her retirement wasn't permanent, saying: "I'm canceling because I feel like physically I just have to stop for a second." MIA said instead she would concentrate on writing new material, as well as some domestic activities. "Now and again you finally just want to be gardening and get your nails done or something like that."

Kanye West booed off stage at Bonnaroo festival
It's not something a super-sized ego like Kanye West's is used to. But after arriving onstage over an hour-and-a-half late at Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee at the weekend, the rapper was pelted with glowsticks and jeered by the crowd. Problems with his Glow In The Dark stage set were blamed for the delay, which resulted in Kanye taking to the stage at 4.30am to cries of "Kanye sucks!" A spokesman for the festival claimed the set problems occurred because of the time it took to dismantle Pearl Jam's set, which had overrun by an hour prior to West's slot.
