“Members of Faith No More (Mike Bordin), Megadeth (David Ellefson) Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary guitarist Jake E Lee.
“They’re playing The Ultimate Sin by Ozzy.”
However, she said the arrival of one artist drew some boos from the audience.
She added: “David Draiman from Disturbed is now joining them to huge boos from the crowd. He’s caused controversy with his political opinions online and the crowd are not welcoming.
“Despite boos, hands are still up in the air to clap along to the Draiman-fronted rendition of 1986 Ozzy track Shot In The Dark.”
Disturbed may be best known for their brooding version of the Simon & Garfunkel classic The Sound of Silence, but singer David Draiman caused controversy following Glastonbury earlier this week.
The singer responded to some politically charged statements made at the festival, but received a mixed reaction from fans.
