US rap legends Public Enemy arrived at a UK gig crammed into a family hatchback driven by a fan after they were unexpectedly left without transport.

And as multi-millionaires Flavor Flav and Chuck D were driven through the back streets of Sheffield in Kevin Wells' Ford Focus, they reportedly sang along to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody on the radio.

Wells' bizarre encounter began at a record store in the suburbs of the northern town where Public Enemy were signing merchandise for fans.

As the session wound up one of their entourage shouted "Does anyone have a car? We're running late," according to a report in The Guardian.
