Last night was thrown into chaos as the backstage area at the annual Virgin Festival was evacuated after being stormed by intruders. However, Rihanna and Jay-Z were the two celebs sadly caught up in that uproar. According to reports, Rihanna was watching Jay close the festival from the side of the stage, much to the surprise of her fans, who had no idea she would be attending.
But shortly after his set finished at around 11pm, festival-goers somehow managed to storm Tape nightclub’s VIP area, where Rihanna and Jay-Z were partying alongside other famous celebrities.
According to The Sun, a ‘serious’ situation broke out in Tape nightclub’s backstage area, where up to 20 ’emergency support officers’ had descended onto the scene, following a group of men forcing their way in. Security acted quickly to clear the area, with a source telling the paper: ‘It was terrifying. One man smacked a steward in the mouth twice…. no one knew what to do and security completely lost control.’
They had attempted to tackle the men who had forced their way into the backstage area, swiftly removing them. However, festival-goers were left ‘scared’ as a result of the chaos that had ensued – including tables being thrown – after Jay-Z’s performance on the main stage of the Hylands Park site. Rihanna and Jay-Z had to be reportedly taken to a helicopter to get them away from the chaos.
