Lifestylebbc.comChris Martin joins busker for impromptu duet
Coldplay's Chris Martin surprised a busker in London's Trafalgar Square by joining him mid-song, and the busker had no idea who he was until it was over.
Busker Hanny Junee says he did not realise who had joined him in Trafalgar Square until afterwards.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin joined South Korean busker Hanny Junee for an impromptu duet of Viva la Vida in Trafalgar Square, London.
Junee told the BBC he thought the stranger had a great voice and energy but dismissed the idea it could really be Chris Martin until bystanders confirmed it afterwards.
Junee described the moment as magical, saying the two connected purely through music rather than fame, in front of an audience of about 20 people.
