Benedict Cumberbatch Sings with Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour
The audience at former Pink Floyd member David Gilmour’s concert Wednesday night were treated to a surprise visit from Benedict Cumberbatch.
The Sherlock star appeared at Gilmour’s show at London’s Royal Albert Hall Wednesday and sang Roger Waters’ verses of the 1979 Pink Floyd hit “Comfortably Numb” with Gilmour. It was the third night of Gilmour’s five-night stay at the venue.
“Who knew he could sing?” Gilmour said to the crowd after the performance.
Concert attendees took to social media to share videos, pictures, and tweets about Cumberbatch’s performance. Check them out below:
