R&B and dance star Kelis stunned Isle of Wight attendees with her drum skills when she took to the sticks during her Friday night set at the rain-drenched event.

The singer moved from the microphone to the drumkit during her chart topping Calvin Harris collaboration 'Bounce', revealing afterwards that drumming was a new skill for the star.

"I decided to start playing the drums not too long ago, so I just figured why not?" She said after her set "I love being here, it's amazing. Any place you got to take a boat to, you know it's gotta be good. You have to take a ferry to get here!...

"I love the dancing, I love all the festivals, I love being able to be outside and kind of get into the whole party vibe - I love that."

Lana Del Rey and Tom Petty stole the opening night of Isle Of Wight 2012 after earlier downpours threatened to derail the island event.
