Jazz club attendees were left stunned when a music icon made an unexpected appearance on stage for a spontaneous set. The legendary performer stunned guests at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club with his surprise turn, leaving those present absolutely delighted.

Jamaican-American jazz pianist Monty Alexander had been entertaining the crowd when an unscheduled special guest made his entrance. The mystery performer had been in the vicinity ahead of a packed show at London's Hyde Park. The more personal setting and unexpected gig has since taken social media by storm, with a TikTok clip documenting the astonishing moment.

Those who missed out have expressed their jealousy of the lucky audience members who witnessed the impromptu show. The shock appearance sent the crowd wild, as none other than Stevie Wonder stepped onto the stage.

Simon Walker's TikTok post reads: "Imagine just sitting enjoying the already talented Monty Alexander but then your favourite legend of all time pops in with his harmonica!"

Wonder, who graced Hyde Park just weeks following his stint at the London jazz venue, captivated the audience with his harmonica prowess.

One fortunate witness to the performance commented: "When I saw this I nearly collapsed."

Another remarked: "That's insane! I don't know what I was expecting you to cut to but I was not expecting Stevie." A third fan confessed: "I'd think I was hallucinating."

Fans were equally thrilled by Wonder's incredible vocal performance. One admirer gushed about the legendary artist, posting: "I didn't know harmonica could sound this good."

Another fan enthused: "Mate, what an unbelievable privilege, to see them jam, Stevie Wonder is a GOAT, love him, he is fab, bet you had the best night."

Alexander subsequently uploaded the performance footage to his Facebook page on June 24, captioning it: "You never know who's going to swing by when Monty is in town!"

Wonder, who headlined Hyde Park on July 12, thrilled audiences with his unexpected visit.

He would go on to deliver an epic 30-song repertoire at the London venue just weeks following his impromptu session with Alexander. The complete setlist from his Hyde Park gig is listed below.
