The family's Armenian tour certainly ended in spectacular fashion after Kanye gave a surprise free performance in the capital city, Yerevan, on Sunday night.

He had to be rescued by security after being mobbed by fans in Swan Lake.

Things got hectic when 'thousands' of fans followed his lead and waded into the water.

Before striding into the shallow lake, he told the assembled crowd: 'Over there, can y'all see me over there? We're going to do something different right now, like, like, like we always do it this time!'

As paparazzi scrambled to get a picture, security guards pulled Kanye out from the group of fans and police stopped the gig - which was being live streamed - from continuing.

However, despite the abrupt ending to the set, which lasted just six songs, he and Kim appeared to have enjoyed the mayhem.

His wife tweeted afterwards: 'Crazy night! Kanye wakes me up & says he's doing a free concert in Yerevan, Armenia! I throw on sweats & we go! Thousands of people were there! Kanye jumped in swan lake to be closer to the crowd on the other side & so many people jumped in too! Such an exciting crazy night!

Kim tweeted: 'It was an honour to meet the Prime Minister of Armenia, Hovik Abrahamyan. He expressed how proud they are that we are proud Armenians and we have not forgotten our roots. #NeverForget'.
