According to reports, Kanye West was booed when he arrived on stage at last weekend's Bonnaroo festival because he kept the audience waiting for an hour and a half. He was due to perform at 2.45am on the Sunday morning of the event, but didn't take to the stage until 4.25am, apparently due to problems setting up a backdrop for the star's set. Fans responded by chanting "Kanye sucks" and throwing glow sticks at the stage. Others gave up and went to bed. Festival spokesman Ken Weins said the problems began because previous act Pearl Jam's set had to be dismantled, and they themselves had finished an hour late.
