‘Also, if you see someone in trouble, do the right thing by your fellow concertgoer and help them/signal for help’ it continued.

It comes after Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker revealed that his experience of performing with The Wiggles was ‘weird’. 

Kevin, best known for his chart-topping indie tunes, joined The Wiggles on stage during their Perth concert in April.   

‘The Wiggles gig was probably the weirdest thing I’ve done on stage; not because I was uncomfortable but because it was truly one of those ‘How the hell did I get here?’ moments,’ the 36-year-old told The Herald Sun on Saturday.

‘The kids were easy to entertain, it was more the parents who were like ‘Is that the bloke from Tame Impala? What the hell is he doing?” he added.

Kevin said that he was worried his young daughter, Peach, would wonder ‘Wait, is Dad a Wiggle?’ 

The children’s band were performing at RAC Arena as part of their Fruit Salad TV Big Show tour when the singer jumped up on stage.

Kevin wore the group’s iconic blue skivvy as he performed Tame Impala’s Elephant alongside Purple Wiggle Lachy Gillespie.
