Beyonce shines at her 2011 Glastonbury festival performance just days before her fourth studio album “4” is released. Beyonce brings the 2011 Glastonbury festival to a close in style – and sparkles. Beyonce said this is the biggest performance of her life and even expressed fear over her impending performance. But it appears Beyonce brought down the place and if you can’t wait to catch the live stream on the BET awards tonight, check out a sneak peak of Beyonce performing “Crazy in Love” and “Single Ladies”. It was rumored Beyonce may be joined by hubby Jay-Z, who himself caused some controversy in 2009 when he headlined the festival but it looks like that rumor fell flat.
The Queen Bey has made her return – enjoy!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.
This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.
For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.
Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
