Paul McCartney was attacked by a swarm of grasshoppers during a concert at Serra Dourada Stadium, Brazil.
The former Beatle was performing in Goiania on Monday night (6 May) when the grasshoppers swarmed around him on stage. One of the insects landed on McCartney's shoulder and stayed there for most of the show.
Naming the grasshopper Harold, McCartney performed 'Hey Jude' to the audience and after the lyric, "The movement you need is on your shoulder," he added, "It certainly is now!"
The concert in Goiania was McCartney's second Brazilian concert as part of his Out There! tour, which will continue on to visit six countries including the US, Poland, Italy, Austria and Canada.
McCartney also played a concert in Belo Horizonte on Saturday (4 May), following a petition from fans to try and persuade him to perform there. At the end of the show, McCartney invited the four girls behind the petition on stage with him - and signed one of the girls' Beatles tattoo.

Adriana Mundo, who had supported the petition, said, "When we heard Paul was coming here we couldn’t actually believe it. It’s a dream come true for us. We’ve never had anything like this here before. It’s such an honour for our city."
Fans also held up 'Thank you, Paul' signs during the concert, with photos of his face on.
During the concerts, McCartney has been playing a number of songs that he has not previously performed live, including 'Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite' and 'All Together Now'.
