Miguel gave a passionate speech at London’s Wireless Festival last night, addressing how he felt about the recent cases of police violence in the U.S. Admitting that he couldn’t get sleep the whole night, the singer encouraged the crowd to truly think about the consequences of these actions and its effect on future generations:
