Overview

• PinkPantheress disclosed in a GQ interview that she and a friend were banned for life from all Sainsbury’s stores after the friend shoplifted a Drumstick lolly, though she insists she did not steal anything herself.
• The revelation coincided with her promotion of the tongue-in-cheek single 'Illegal', a title fans have pointed out as a nod to the supermarket sanction.
• Her Woodsies performance on Friday night at Glastonbury drew glowing praise online and was hailed as one of the weekend’s standout sets.
• Festival organisers clarified that her cancelled pre-festival intimate set was called off due to her availability rather than concerns about overcrowding.
