SEVASTOPOL (AFP): Hollywood tough guy and musician Steven Seagal played a weekend concert in the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, appearing on a stage adorned with the flag of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine. Seagal and his blues band played late Saturday at a bikers’ show held in the city of Sevastopol, home to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. The martial artist has come under fire for supporting Russia’s March annexation of the peninsula from Ukraine, a view which saw him bounced from the line up at a Estonian blues festival this summer.
 At the corner of the stage hung the black, blue and red flag of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR), declared independent by separatist pro-Russian rebels fighting to break away from Ukraine. Fans waved Russian and DNR flags as Seagal sang and played his guitar.
