Justin Bieber Makes Surprise Appearance at Rising British Star’s $30 Los Angeles Concert: ‘Who’s Gonna Pinch Me Then?’

Justin Bieber made a surprise appearance at Finn Askew’s show at The Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles on Thursday (Nov. 12), joining the British singer for a duet in front of a couple hundred people.

Footage Askew posted on Instagram shows Bieber taking the stage at the end of the set and trading lines with Askew on “Music All Over Her Body.” Askew, who is from Wellington, U.K., released the single in September.

Billboard has reached out to Bieber’s representative for more details.

The venue’s website puts its event capacity at about 250 people. “POV: Justin Bieber randomly performs at a $30 show,” one person wrote over an audience video of the duet.

Three days before the show, Bieber posed with his arm around the 25-year-old Askew in a photo posted on Instagram. Askew captioned it, “Brother.”

Later, Askew reflected on the performance on his Story. “who’s gonna pinch me then?” he wrote, later adding: “I just got into bed and it’s all just hit me. tears of joy.”

Askew has made music since his teens and created his debut single, “Roses,” when he was 16. He began releasing music in 2020 and released the EP Blueboy in April.

Bieber has not released music since his double album Swag, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. He has kept a lower profile since headlining Coachella this spring, though he also appeared at an impromptu jam session in Los Angeles’ MacArthur Park in September.
