Blur's Damon Albarn had to be carried off stage by a security guard after he refused to end a set, which lasted for five hours.

The Britpop legend was performing with his collective Africa Express at the Roskilde Music Festival in Denmark over the weekend and clearly didn't want it to come to an end.

After a lengthy set, which lasted until 4am, Albarn was forcibly removed from the stage after he refused to wrap things up, much to the amusement of the crowd.

Fans in the audience caught the hilarious moment on camera as the 47-year-old kept on playing after being made aware of the curfew by organisers.

Clearly getting into the moment, Albarn and his collective - which features musicians Nick Zinner and Seye Adeklan - started a rendition of the Clash's Should I Stay Or Should I Go when asked to leave the stage.

While the crowd obviously wanted the band to stay, it was clearly time to go as a burly security guard jumped on stage and carried the Blur frontman away.

The epic set included special appearances by the likes of Graham Coxon and Laura Mvula, and featured Gorillaz songs and Randy Newman covers.

Albarn has had a busy few months after releasing his comeback album with Blur and is gearing up for a number of dates with the 90s Britpop band and Africa Collective.
