Kylie Minogue surprises fan with 'magical' singalong

Kylie Minogue surprised a fan by joining him for a "magical" singalong at the London premiere of her new Netflix docuseries earlier this week.

Rudi Douglas, a 39-year-old musician from Ireland, had been booked to play piano at the event before being asked to sing and eventually being joined by the pop star.

Speaking to Sky News, Mr Douglas explained how he had been booked for the Monday event three or four weeks ago but wasn't told until last week what the occasion was.

"I was just stunned, I was like 'Please let this happen'," he says.

Originally booked just to play piano, Mr Douglas was asked to sing a few songs after Netflix staff heard him singing while warming up.

He was in the middle of playing a few songs to draw people into the room when the pop star surprised him.

The pair later sang five songs together, including All The Lovers and Spinning Around.

It was a dream come true for the musician, who won tickets to see the star in 2018 after being in her top 0.1% of listeners on Spotify.

At one point, Mr Douglas even had to remind his idol of the words.

While in the third verse of singing Dancing together, the musician recalls Kylie turning to him and saying, "What's the next bit?"

The two didn't speak after the event, but Mr Douglas has no regrets.

"We had a big hug and then she disappeared, and I think it was actually perfect like that… there's no other way I could show her how much I love her and her music than just playing it on the piano and singing it to her."

The star spoke to Sky's Debbie Ridgard at the event about the struggles she's faced in her career ahead of the release of the Netflix documentary, Kylie, which looks back on her life.
