Talk about a party crasher. On Sunday night, as Adele was making her way to accept her award at the Grammy’s for Best Pop Vocal Performance, a crasher wearing a black tuxedo and glasses took the stage to everyone’s surprise.
The stage crasher, Vitalli Sediuk previously made headlines when he attempted to kiss Will Smith at the Men In Black 3 premiere in Moscow, Russia. Sediuk is a Ukranian TV host, and managed to make his way all the way to the Grammy stage. “Its such an honor to receive this award,” he said to audience before Adele was able make her acceptance speech. “I love you, Adele,” he added. Jennifer Lopez, the presenter of the award, took to giving the crasher the eagle eye and motioning for him to get lost before security swiftly escorted the prankster off the stage. Adele, however, was quite oblivious to the whole scene.
Authorities discovered that he had been backstage without any credentials. Sediuk even made his way to steal the seat of Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine. Sediuk was arrested and spent the night in jail. He was released on a $5000 bail and is expected to appear in court on March 4 for trespassing charges.
Sediuk’s attempt to steal the show was overshadowed by the high volume performances from the likes of Rihanna, Frank Ocean, Justin Timberlake and Carrie Underwood.
