Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis was filmed brawling with security at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia after bodyguards attached to The Rolling Stones refused him entry.
In the video obtained by TMZ the singer can be seen walking towards the hotel entrance, where he was staying, with a female companion when the security man steps forward to stop them. Kiedis tries to walk past the man who then lunges at him, falling to the ground himself as other people rush in to calm the altercation.
according to witnessed on the scene, TMZ reports, security were securing the entrance to the hotel so The Rolling Stones could make a quick exit from the building to their car.
Fans can be heard shouting that he’s the leader singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but the security appear to have thought he was simply another fan.
But he obviously doesn't hold a grudge, telling TMZ "I love The Rolling Stones."

But no one seems ready to admit the security guard in question works for them, with a rep for Four Seasons Philly denying he’s attached to the hotel and people close to The Stones also insisting he doesn’t work for them, at least not directly.
TMZ reports a source as saying it’s possible the bodyguard was hired in Philadelphia to supplement the group’s regular security.
Next weekend will see The Rolling Stones headline Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage, with the BBC broadcasting a full hour of their set for people stuck at home.
