Famous People Busking

Here’s a collection of vids featuring some of the worlds most famous (and not so famous) people busking.

It’s nice to know that however much cash these guys have got or how famous they are, none of them are too proud to hit the streets and play for the people.

When all is said and done, it comes down to one man and a guitar ( and some weirdo with an air guitar ! )

Yngwie Malmsteen

What sort of bloke would even think about doing air guitar in the street in front one of the world’s greatest shred masters ?

Here’s Newton singing ‘Dream Catch Me’ on the South bank in London. The song ends early two and a half minutes into the song when he snaps a guitar string. Just goes to show it happens to the best of us, just when we least expect it.

Should’ve used D’Addario’s Newt !
