A local musician named Radha began does regular street performances at Faneuil Hall, however on this day she was met with a legendary surprise.
Not long after she started performing, Radha began to sing John Legend’s hit song “All of Me.” Things were going as normal until she noticed a familiar face in the crowd.
“I see someone that looks like John Legend, in a trench coat and a mask on, with some kids by him,” Radha told Boston.com. “I was like, ‘Wow, that’s pretty funny; he looks just like John Legend.’”
As Legend removed his mask, she realized the famous musician and the original artist of the song was standing right in front of her.
“It was quite a coincidence,” she told the news website. “People wondered if it was like staged or something, and it was like, there was no strategy at all.”
Legend was visiting Faneuil Hall with his wife, Chrissy Teigen, and their two kids on Sunday before he took the stage at the Orpheum Theatre. But Radha said she had no idea he was in the area as it was quite a shocking surprise to everyone.
