Singer Kanye West, who infamously invaded the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for her first Video Music Award in 2009, has been left 'bemused' by a stage invasion himself.

A comedian by the stage name of Lee Nelson (real name Simon Brodkin) jumped on stage during Kanye's headline act at the UK's Glastonbury Festival last night, and began copying (badly) the singer's dance moves, complete with a toy microphone. He was quickly bundled off the stage by security. Nelson said afterwards he was just 'trying to lend a hand' to Kanye.

Kanye was widely criticized for the 2009 incident with the then 19-year-old Swift where he jumped on stage to complain about Beyonce not winning. Beyonce gave up her own acceptance speech time later that night, to allow Swift to finish hers.

I have no idea why the BBC called him a streaker. Thought that was a word to describe people running about with no clothes?
