Conor Maynard Was Held at Gunpoint While Touring in Brazil

Conor Maynard has revealed that he was held at gunpoint while on tour in Brazil.

The singer and YouTube star took to Twitter this week to post a series of videos letting fans know what happened.

“Basically, me and my manager were involved in an incident in Sao Paulo,” he said. “We were coming back from a restaurant. We just had dinner and we were heading back to the hotel when we pulled up at a red light … and suddenly a motorcyclist pulled up next to the driver’s window, which is the side I was also on, and so I’m banging on the window, and at first me and my manager were kind of confused.”

“As I looked at the motorcyclist as he was banging on the window, he was banging on the window with a gun in his hand and he was pointing it at the driver and was trying to open the door,” he continued.

Luckily, everyone escaped unharmed.

“I would never judge or base my opinion on a country based on one incident,” Conor added. “Regardless of the way it kind of ended, I had such an amazing time over there. The show was so much fun and obviously I would happily come back to do another show.”
