Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles are Peking Duk
Getting to have a beer with your favourite band after a gig is a dream for many fans, but how far would you go to get there?
A guy in Australia managed to sneak himself backstage by changing duo Peking Duk's Wikipedia page to claim he was a relative.
He spoke to security guards, showed them the page on his phone - and they let him through.
David Spargo then had a beer with them after the show in Melbourne, Australia.
The band tweeted how impressed they were with him., external
Instead of being angry, the band called him "the definition of a legend".
The picture in the tweet includes a screenshot from their Wikipedia page which shows how Spargo added his name and the word 'family' to it.
"One of the promoters got a call from security telling her that our step-brother was coming backstage," Adam Hyde from the band told Newsbeat.
"We were confused and intrigued as we saw a young lad walking up to the green room.
"He then explained to us his amazing tactic to get past security to hang with us and we immediately cracked him a beer. This dude is the definition of a legend."

The band were impressed with his quick thinking.
"It's crazy. He just did it on the spot, in a second, on his phone. He told the security guard he was our step-brother or something, and showed them the Wikipedia page and his ID."

Once he snuck through he didn't hide in the background, he walked straight up to them and got chatting.
"He had good vibes. He wasn't creepy at all and was actually more relaxed and cool than we would have expected from someone who went to such lengths to get to our green room.
"I've never heard of such skills, we tip our hats to the dude."
Shortly after someone else added 'legend' to the page, although it has now gone back to normal.
