Performers - Part 76

Elbow

Elbow is an English rock band formed in 1990.  They are not known for nudity, but while they were performing onstage at the Downs Festival in Bristol on Sept. 2, 2017, a streaker ran onto the stage.  He was quickly caught by security (above).

But then lead singer Gus Garvey reached out to the streaker and pulled him away from the security guy (above).

As the band continued playing their song The Bones of You, Garvey embraced the young streaker ...

and waltzed him around, dancing on stage, much to the delight of the audience.

After a final spin ...

and a pat on the butt ..

Garvey released the streaker, who was promptly apprehended by security again.  As they took the streaker offstage, Garvey led the audience in applauding the streaker.

Here's a video of it.  Later, commentators lauded Garvey for his unflappable handling of the incident, turning a potential problem into something positive and entertaining.
