Comedian Jimmy Carr was spotted filming The Killers‘ surprise set at Glastonbury on his phone while watching from side stage.
The US band played a surprise set to a packed-out John Peel stage earlier on Sunday (June 25), performing classic hits as well as new single ‘The Man’. See photos from their triumphant set here.
During the set, fans took to social media to report about how Carr was watching the band from side of the stage. “Is that Jimmy Carr grinning like a Cheshire Cat on stage filming the Killers during their Glastonbury set?”, one fan asked on Twitter.
It’s not the first time Carr has shared a stage with the band, with The Killers bringing him out at V Festival in 2014.
See a photo of Carr watching The Killers at Glasto below as well as reactions from fans.
