Britney Spears faced a major setback during her wedding to Sam Asghari when her ex-husband Jason Alexander broke into her home during the nuptials. Jason, who was famously married to the superstar for 55 hours back in 2004, filmed himself on social media approaching Britney's home in LA where she and Sam were due to have their ceremony, as he told the camera he was there to 'crash the wedding'. Jason was then restrained by Ventura County Sheriff's Department who responded to a trespassing call. Britney has not yet spoken out on the ordeal but her assistant thanks fans for their support on Instagram, insisting everyone is safe.

Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards performed a cover of the fab-four's 1963 hit I Wanna Be Your Man, which was penned by Paul McCartney and the late John Lennon.
