SEVENTEEN have been spotted performing covers of AdeleBruno Mars and more at a restaurant in Bath – watch fan-filmed footage down below.

The 13-piece boyband made the surprise appearance at Square Grill in the city centre, fresh off the backs of their historic Glastonbury debut. SEVENTEEN became the first K-pop act to perform at the festival ever as they took to the Pyramid Stage yesterday (June 28).

But it appears the boys weren’t done performing just yet. They stopped by the restaurant in Bath, where member Woozi opted to step into the restaurant’s live music corner. Accompanied by a pianist, he took on vocal duty for Mars’ ‘When I Was Your Man’, and Michael Jackson’s ‘Man In The Mirror’, whilst Seungkwan sang his rendition of Calum Scott‘s ‘You Are The Reason’ and Adele staple ‘Someone Like You’.

Fans have since reacted to the news on social media, expressing shock and amusement. One posted a series of crying emojis, commenting that it was the “restaurant I went to for my graduation meal”, whilst another simply wrote: “These middle-aged women don’t know what just happened to them”.

Check out SEVENTEEN’s covers and a number of fan reactions below:

 

 

 

 

 

In a five-star review of SEVENTEEN’s Glastonbury debutNME wrote: “Earlier in the afternoon, when Glastonbury is still just getting acquainted with SEVENTEEN, Joshua makes a sage point. “Language isn’t a barrier,” he tells the crowd. “We can connect through song.”

“That’s something the group demonstrate throughout their time on the Pyramid, but perhaps no stronger than in the final two numbers. ‘God Of Music’ has the crowd chanting the hook, drawing out the anthemic joy that courses through the track.”

“‘Very Nice’, meanwhile, brings a playful and utterly exuberant close to proceedings, the boyband bringing their tradition of delivering repeated, energetic reprises of the chorus to the festival as they whip up the audience one last time. As SEVENTEEN say thank you in both Korean and English, they launch into one final round of the infectious refrain, their mark well and truly made on one of the biggest festivals in the world.”

NME spoke to the boyband about their Glastonbury debut, with Seungkwan calling it “such an honour, we’re super grateful. Some of the audience members might not know us that well, but we just hope that everyone would leave with the impression that these guys can really smash it on stage.”

The gates to Glastonbury 2024 opened on Wednesday (June 26), ahead of a weekend of music from the likes of headliners Dua LipaColdplay, and SZA, alongside Shania Twain’s legends slot and performances from LCD SoundsystemPJ HarveyLittle SimzBurna BoyIdlesAnne-MarieConfidence ManDisclosureCamila CabelloThe Last Dinner PartyAvril LavigneThe NationalJessie WareJungleJusticeMasegoSugababes and countless more. Check out the full line-up here.

Megan Thee Stallion Hospitalized After Getting Sick During Moulin Rouge! The Musical Performance

Megan Thee Stallion was taken to hospital after becoming unwell during her appearance in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Tuesday evening.

The Savage hitmaker, whose real name is Megan Pete, began her planned eight week engagement in the production last week, taking on the role of Harold Zidler. The show is currently running at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York City.

However, according to a statement from the production team, Megan had to step away from the show after she began experiencing health issues.

"During Tuesday night's production, Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated," a representative shared. "We will share additional updates as more information becomes available."

Meanwhile, Megan’s hairstylist Kellon Deryck also reached out to fans, asking them to send their support to the rapper.

"Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital," he wrote.

At this time, spokespersons for the 31 year old performer have not released any new information.

Megan has made history as the first female identifying artist to take on the role of Zidler, a character first played by Danny Burstein, in any global production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical.

"Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honour," the Hot Girl Summer artist said previously. "I've always believed in pushing myself creatively and theatre is definitely a new opportunity that I'm excited to embrace. Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation and storytelling, but I'm up for the challenge and can't wait for the Hotties (her fans) to see a new side of me."

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is scheduled to end its Broadway run on 26 July, bringing a seven year run to a close.
