GIRLS ALOUD - GIRLS ALOUD IN SECURITY SCARE

British pop band GIRLS ALOUD were at the centre of a security scare at a gig in England on Sunday (03Aug08) night - after they were accosted by an abusive fan.
The group was due to take to the stage for a concert in Cheshire, England when a drunken man sneaked past security and cornered the singers backstage.
The man reportedly began shouting obscenities at the stars before he was pinned down and escorted out by three security guards.
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "It was all pretty dramatic. The girls were due up on stage in three minutes time when he ran up to them. He'd clearly had too much to drink.
"Somehow he had got backstage, within yards of the group. Luckily their security team intercepted him before he was able to do anything untoward. But it took three burly guys to bring him down as he was getting really aggressive. Once they were safely onstage the decision was made to call the police."
The man was arrested and questioned by police but was subsequently released without charge.
