Security scare as fan jumps stage at The Weeknd Aussie show

It was a big weekend in entertainment with The Weeknd performing back-to-back shows in Melbourne.

The After Hours til Dawn show was sold out at Marvel Stadium, with more than 50,000 people in attendance each night and one of the biggest productions we’ve seen in Australia.

The performance was marred slightly by a fan who jumped on stage and ran towards the singer and went in for a hug before being dragged offstage by security.

Keanu Reeves is a lot of things, an actor, a bass player, he’s a good guy and now he can add the title of race car driver to his resume.

We know he loves Speed and over the weekend he competed in the Toyota GR Cup.

It’s an amateur series for car enthusiasts and aspiring racers, held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana.

He had a bit of a mishap during the race, but did manage to make it over the finish line with 33 cars in the field for the 45-minute race .

Keanu came 25th on Saturday and 24th on Sunday and incidentally, Speed, in which he stars alongside Sandra Bullock, is celebrating 30 years with a big screening in LA this week that both he and Sandra Bullock are set to attend.
