John Legend plays surprise station gig at St Pancras in London
John Legend surprised fans and passing rail passengers earlier with a gig at St Pancras station in central London.
The 10-time Grammy winner tweeted that he was about to get off the Eurostar from Paris.
Within 20 minutes his post had drawn a big crowd who got to hear an eight-minute performance, including Ordinary People.
Afterwards Legend didn't have time for fan selfies as he was escorted away to an unknown location.
This is the tweet that got things started.
