REM JOINED ONSTAGE BY PUNK LEGEND IN LONDON

Chris and Gwynnie look on as the US rockers end their world tour in style at Hyde Park...

[/a] as they closed their world tour in front of 80,000 fans in LONDON’s HYDE PARK on Saturday (July 16).

The singer came on to sing vocals on ’E-Bow The Letter’, which she does on the 1996 studio version, which was a Top Five UK hit single that year. She appeared to forget most of the words, but made up for it with a stunning ad-libbed vocal at the end of the song, leading to delirious applause.

The American rockers, watched by [url=]Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow, were playing the show a week later, after the initial date was postponed following the terrorist atrocities in London.
