Mr Worldwide's fans have set the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps.

Pitbull and his legion of fans have set the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps at his headline BST Hyde Park show. The rapper and singer, known as Mr Worldwide, lived up to his name by inspiring a global trend in recent years which sees crowds rock up to his concerts dressed in his signature style of suits and sunglasses and, of course, wearing bald caps. Ahead of his performance at the London festival, tens of thousands of concertgoers gathered by the main stage to be officially counted. It was later confirmed to Pitbull the record had been set at 22,141 bald cap wearers, which he hailed as a "blessing" and an "honour". Fans dressed up in Pitbull's signature style of suits and sunglasses - and wearing bald caps "Who would have ever thought a first-generation Cuban would be able to be in London record-breaking and record-making one for the Guinness Book of World Records," the Grammy-award winner, whose real name is Armando Christian Perez, told reporters. He thanked his fans, "the baldies", for their support, praising them as his "number one" focus. BBC Radio 1 Breakfast presenter Greg James and content creator Jack Remmington kickstarted the idea last year after Remmington shared a video suggesting the record should be attempted at BST, while James helped get Pitbull on board.
