Busker sings Aerosmith, not knowing Steven Tyler is about to join him

Buskers turn the streets into an interesting stage. Drawing a crowd who enjoy their performance is their biggest reward.

Many musicians have started their musical careers by busking. It’s a good way to introduce their work to a wide audience. But of course, out on the streets, you never know what to expect.

It’s a heartwarming video where superstar Steve Tyler and a busker enjoy singing this beautiful song.

One of Aerosmith’s most popular ballads, “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” debuted at number one of the US Billboard Hot 100 on it’s release. Music has always united people. The song has been covered by so many different artists and musicians before. But this young busker is lucky to have had the chance to share this Aerosmith classic with Steven Tyler himself.

Somewhere in the streets of Moscow, this happened.

The video begins with the busker standing in the middle of the street with his acoustic guitar singing.

A crowd has formed around him, filming and enjoying his performance. It seems like a regular busking performance until we spot Steven Tyler in the audience. He is with his bodyguards and they seem to be enjoying the busker’s rendition of the song. Tyler is wearing an interesting jacket and a big hat.

Not too long after that, he decides to join in.

His bodyguards didn’t seem to expect what he had in mind, but Tyler goes on to surprise the crowd.

As the crowd begins to recognize the man who joined the busker, they begin to cheer and scream in excitement. In his surprise, the young singer wouldn’t keep singing and gave the mic to Tyler. But Tyler kept encouraging the performer to duet with him.

What a lucky opportunity for this enthusiastic busker to meet the experienced superstar.

The young man continued to play the guitar perfectly even when Aerosmith’s frontman stepped in.

He has got the talent and enthusiasm for sharing music with the world. Tyler’s decision of joining the young busker and giving him the “thumbs up” for his performance is so uplifting to an aspiring musician. If a lot more experienced singers gave a spotlight to these young people full of potential, we would have a whole new world of music full of interesting experiments. The best part is, everyone gets to enjoy everything.

The two singers pose for photographs at the end.
