Canadian musician Grimes got the shock of her life when she was zapped onstage by a faulty effects pedal.
The 27-year-old, performing in Dublin for her Art Angels album tour, could be seen in a fan video recoiling in pain during the song Butterfly.
The electric shock appeared to emanate from her earpiece.
Grimes, real name Claire Elise Boucher, quickly shook off the incident and returned to performing.
