MIA hit by power cut at concert

British-Tamil pop star MIA left fans disappointed after her 90 minute set at Lovebox festival was cut down to just an hour due to a power cut.
The 39-year-old 'Paper Planes' singer, who was headlining the festival, held in London's Victoria Park, was forced to cut down her set after an audience member dislodged a power cable with their foot, reported Telegraph online.
The incident, which happened just after the singer invited fans to join her on the stage, caused the screens at the side of the stage to go black and the sound to cut-out shortly afterwards.
Following a great deal of booing from the crowd, MIA, whose real name is Mathangi Maya Arulpragasam, left the stage while organisers fixed the issue before returning to play three more tracks including her hits 'Paper Planes' and 'Bad Girls, closing her show after an hour instead of the planned 90 minutes.

MIA had faced further difficulties earlier on in the set when she appeared noticeably frustrated by sound levels and repeated, 'Turn my mic up', during her performance of 'Sunshowers' and 'Bring The Noize'.
