Stewart Copeland, former drummer with The Police, has revealed his most cringe-worthy run-in with a celebrity, and it involves one of the most famous and iconic musicians on the planet.
Copeland shares his embarrassing anecdote in a new interview with The Guardian, revealing "I once Bogarted a Beatle."
"It was at the after party for the Foo Fighters concert at Wembley Stadium," he explains, most likely referring to the American band's two-night stand at England's national stadium in June 2008. "Somebody says, 'Oh, I smell marijuana', and so I wander over in that general direction just as somebody's handing a joint. So I said, OK, sure – just to be polite – I took the joint, and I looked over and I realised that the intended recipient of the joint was none other than Paul McCartney. And I had just interrupted the passage of this chalice to the great one! I had interloped in this moment.
