Forget Beatles... now he's all about the grasshoppers! Paul McCartney's stage is invaded by insects during Brazilian show



His band The Beatles are arguably the most famous musical group of all time.

But on Tuesday night, Paul McCartney was more about the grasshoppers as he found his stage invaded by a swarm of the insects during a concert in Goiania, Brazil.

The 70-year-old musician was forced to complete his three-hour performance as clouds of the Esperanca Grilo creatures buzzed around him.

However, animal-lover Macca appeared unfazed by the stage intrusion as he pushed through and delighted the 47,000 crowd with his songs.

Sir Paul even introduced one of the little grasshoppers as Harold during a performance of hit song Hey Jude.



As he sang the track, Sir Paul turned to Harold as he sang the words 'the movement you need is on your shoulder', adding 'it certainly is now'.

Also during the show, Sir Paul was seen inviting a young woman up onto the stage so he could sign the Beatles tattoo she has on her ribcage.



And it appears the fans certainly appreciated Sir Paul pushing through the infestation - holding up banners thanking him for the concert.

Sir Paul had kicked off his Out There! tour in Brazil earlier this week, and w ill be travelling to countries including Poland, Italy and Austria as well as various venues in America before the tour draws to a close in Seattle on July 19th.

His set lists have included rarely performed songs such as Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite, All Together Now and Eight Days A Week, which he played live only once before the tour began, with The Beatles in 1965.
