Dev Hynes fesses up to dodgy show

Lightspeed Champion's Dev Hynes has confessed to playing "some of the worst shows ever".

In his latest blog entry, Hynes apologised to fans at his Milton Keynes gig earlier this month for forgetting lyrics and being out of tune.

Describing his frustration, he explained that he doesn't "know what's going on" and that his "mind is just wandering".

Although Hynes added that he fears he may have lost his "thirst", encouraging fans have posted numerous messages of support in response.

However there were no such problems when Hyne said 'goodbye' to his debut album at Leeds Festival last weekend or last night (August 28) guesting with We Are Scientists.
