Joni Mitchell has made her voice heard in the upcoming US election, responding: Fuck Donald Trump! to an audience member who yelled an insult about the Republican presidential candidate.

Performing her first headline concert in Los Angeles in 24 years on Saturday, Mitchell, 80, said: Everybody get out and vote. This is an important one. I wish I could vote Im Canadian. Im one of those lousy immigrants.
