Bob Dylan was taken aback during a concert in Brazil on Thursday night - when a young woman invaded the stage and embraced the veteran star.

The Hurricane singer was performing the encore of his second gig in Sao Paolo when a long-haired female fan dodged security, and ran over to kiss and hug a shocked Dylan.

When the song finished, the amused 66-year-old told the audience, "Thank you, friends. And I’d like to thank that young lady for coming up and joining us on stage.

"Where did she go? I want to give her my hat. Don’t let her get away."
