Russell Brand ripped his trousers before Olympics performance
Russell Brand's psychedelic performance at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics got off to a disastrous start when he ripped his trousers and got his foot stuck in a door before his big moment.
The Get Him to the Greek star delivered a rendition of The Beatles' I Am The Walrus in a Willy Wonka-themed set in front of an 80,000-strong crowd at the event on Sunday (12Aug12).
But Brand's showcase ran into trouble before he was due on, when he
suffered a wardrobe malfunction and trapped himself in the door of
his huge multi-coloured bus.
He tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "I felt all right until I ripped
my trousers just before I went on, and then my foot got caught in
the trap door on top of the van, so it could have gone downhill
from there. It was brilliant, I really loved it and I was so happy
to be a part of it."
