Hey music fans! 👋 I’m here today to talk about the 10 times fans completely stole the show! 🤩 You know, those moments when the crowd was so hyped up and loving life that they overshadowed the performer on stage. Let’s dive in! 🌊

1. Foo Fighters Show Interrupted by Crowd Singing Queen’s “Under Pressure” 🤘🎵

At a Foo Fighters gig in 2015, lead singer Dave Grohl started playing the band’s classic “Monkey Wrench” but stopped when he heard the crowd singing the distinctly non-Foo Fighters song “Under Pressure” by Queen and David Bowie. Grohl relinquished the stage to the audience, who sang the entire song while the band watched in awe. 😲🎤

2. Bruce Springsteen Invites Kid on Stage for “Waitin’ on a Sunny Day” 👦🌞

At a 2013 Bruce Springsteen concert in Germany, the Boss invited a kid named Jakob on stage to sing the chorus of “Waitin’ on a Sunny Day”. Not only did Jakob nail the song, but he also got a chance to strum Springsteen’s guitar. Springsteen later said, “It’s always risky when you hand the microphone to the audience, particularly a child. But he was just great!” 😎🎸

3. Bon Jovi Concert Turned into a Massive Karaoke Session 🎤🎉

The band was so impressed that they posted a video of the sing-along on their website. 🙌🎶

6. Metallica Concert Hits Pause Button as Fans Sing National Anthem 🇺🇸🤘

In 2017, Metallica’s concert in Pasadena, California was interrupted when the sound system failed during the band’s rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner”. Instead of waiting for the system to be fixed, the fans took over and sang the National Anthem in unison. The band members later called it “one of the most beautiful things [they’d] ever heard.” ❤️🎤
