Riot police called to Jonas Brothers hotel

Riot police were reportedly called to the Jonas Brothers's hotel in Peru after more than 1,000 fans lined the streets outside.

According to E! Online, officials were forced to block off the streets surrounding Lima's Marriot Hotel on Sunday when teenagers descended in order to catch a glimpse of Kevin, 21, Joe, 19 and 16-year-old Nick.

Writing on their official website, the brothers said: "There are thousands of fans outside the hotel. The police were called in to control the crowd. It is unbelievable to hear the fans in a country we have never visited before. Thank you Peru! Can't wait to meet everyone."

They later added: "We just woke up to the sounds of fans screaming downstairs outside of our hotel. What a great way to start off our new world tour."

It is thought that dozens of fans also spent the night at a nearby park to ensure that they did not miss the band leaving the hotel.

The group are playing two sold-out gigs in the capital tonight and tomorrow night, with each concert expected to attract a crowd of 60,000.
