Coldplay singer Chris Martin has surprised a street musician in central London for an impromptu performance of the British band’s hit “Viva la Vida.”

Ahn Ji-hoon, who performs as HannyJunee, from South Korea, told CNN that the moment was “like a movie.” He said the crowd chose the track as his last song during a performance in Trafalgar Square, London, on Friday.

“As the music started, this stranger guy walked up wearing a cool hat and sunglasses. In my head, I thought, ‘Oh, this guy knows how to enjoy the vibe. Nice. Must be a massive Coldplay fan,’” he told CNN on Tuesday.

“We’ve had cool participants before, so I just rolled with it,” added the artist.

“When he sang the first line, I thought, ‘Whoa, this guy’s vocal timbre is insane. He sounds remarkably like Chris Martin.’ But did I think it was actually Chris Martin? Absolutely not,” said the singer.

“What are the odds that Chris Martin himself gets magically summoned right next to you on a random street in London at the exact final moment?” he said, adding that he thought it was something that “only happens in movies.”

“He was smiling brightly and genuinely having the time of his life, and so was I,” said the performer.

“He coolly walked away right after the song ended, and then the crowd swarmed me, shouting, “Do you know who that was?” I asked ‘who,’ and they said, “It was the real Chris Martin,” he added.

“I’m just endlessly grateful for that unforgettable moment and the way it’s connecting me with so many incredible souls around the world right now,” said HannyJunee, who also posted a video of the performance on Instagram .

“Still can‘t believe this happened,” reads the caption. “Thank you Chris for the most unforgettable moment of my life.”

This is not the first time that Martin has surprised fans with an unexpected performance.

Last year, he surprised a couple at their wedding after the groom’s mother reached out to Martin for a video message. Instead, the musician showed up in person and performed for their first dance.

A few months earlier, he played an impromptu set at a pub in West Yorkshire, northern England.

“People just turned up for a drink and saw Chris Martin unloading pianos - can you believe that?” an attendee named Andy Varley told the BBC at the time. “Chris was really chatty and really engaged and even put a picture on his piano that one of the customers’ children had made for him.”

酷玩乐队主唱克里斯·马丁在伦敦市中心惊喜现身，即兴为一位街头音乐家演唱了该乐队的热门歌曲“Viva la Vida”。

来自韩国的艺名HannyJunee的安智勋告诉CNN，那一刻“就像电影一样”。他说，周五在伦敦特拉法加广场的演出中，观众们选择这首歌作为他的最后一首歌。

“音乐响起时，一个陌生人走了过来，戴着一顶很酷的帽子和太阳镜。我当时想，‘哦，这家伙很会享受气氛。不错。肯定是酷玩乐队的铁杆粉丝，’”他周二告诉CNN。

“我们之前也遇到过很棒的参与者，所以我就顺其自然了，”这位艺术家补充道。

“当他唱出第一句歌词时，我想，‘哇，这家伙的音色太棒了。他听起来非常像克里斯·马丁。’但我当时觉得他真的是克里斯·马丁吗？绝对没有，”这位歌手说道。

“克里斯·马丁本人在最后一刻被神奇地召唤到你身边，出现在伦敦一条随机的街道上，这种概率有多大？”他说道，并补充说他认为这种事“只会在电影里发生”。

“他笑容灿烂，玩得非常开心，我也一样，”这位表演者说道。

“歌曲结束后，他冷静地走开了，然后人群围住了我，喊道：‘你知道那是谁吗？’我问‘谁？’他们说：‘那是真正的克里斯·马丁。’”他补充道。

“我无比感激那难忘的时刻，以及它此刻将我与世界各地如此多了不起的灵魂联系起来的方式，”HannyJunee说道，她还在Instagram上发布了这段表演的视频。

“至今仍不敢相信这一切真的发生了，”配文写道。“谢谢你，克里斯，给了我生命中最难忘的时刻。”

这并非马丁第一次以出人意料的表演让歌迷感到惊喜。

去年，新郎的母亲联系马丁，希望他录制一段视频祝福，结果马丁惊喜现身一对新人的婚礼，并为他们演奏了第一支舞曲。

几个月前，他在英格兰北部西约克郡的一家酒吧即兴演奏了一场。

“大家只是来喝一杯，结果就看到克里斯·马丁在卸钢琴——你敢信吗？”一位名叫安迪·瓦利的参与者当时告诉BBC。“克里斯非常健谈，也很投入，甚至还把一位顾客的孩子为他画的一幅画放在了他的钢琴上。”
