Damon Albarn sings Parklife in east London pub

A London band had a big surprise when singer Damon Albarn asked to join them for a number in a Leytonstone pub.

"It was a regular gig, Wednesday night down the boozer, and he wandered in," said The Gents singer Kristian Cockburn.

The Blur star joined the cockney band, who perform without microphones, to treat The Red Lion to the hit Parklife.

"He suggested it. He was so game for it," Mr Cockburn of south-east London added.
