Hundreds of fans braved the Glasgow rain and snaked along Argyle Street today as a Hollywood star drew huge queues outside HMV for a rare in-store signing.

Jeff Goldblum visited the HMV on Glasgow’s Argyle Street at 12.30pm to meet fans and sign exclusive artcards, prompting crowds of around 500 people to gather outside the store despite the wet weather.

The 73-year-old actor and musician is promoting his new album, Night Blooms, which will be released on June 5 and supported by a world tour.

Goldblum, who will perform with The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra at the Theatre Royal in Glasgow on June 1, has collaborated on the album with a host of stars.

These include his Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo, singer Charlie Puth, British artist Dodie, and jazz musician Melody Gardot.

Erivo joins Goldblum on a duet of “If I Only Had a Brain,” the classic song from The Wizard of Oz.

Goldblum is known for his distinctive style and roles in films such as Jurassic Park, Independence Day, and The Fly, as well as appearances in several Wes Anderson productions.
