IT’S every music lover’s dream to share the stage with their favourite artist – and that came true for one lucky superfan.
The legendary frontman of an iconic noughties band recently surprised a musician by taking to the mic and belting out one of his band’s biggest songs that became a megahit in the early 00s.
US rock band Train rose to fame in 1993 and lead singer Pat Monahan has been it’s sole constant member over the years.
In a new video, the singer, 56, was recently spotted taking over the mic of a fellow musician and superfan.
In a moment straight out of every fans wildest fantasy, Pat shocked gig goers as he walked up to where vocalist Sedona Rose was performing after being called up mid-performance.
The fan was playing with her band when the Train frontman, who looked inconspicuous dressed in all black, suddenly stepped in as lead singer.
Without missing a beat he grabbed the mic and continued to sing Train’s smash hit Drops of Jupiter.
The 2 minute video sees Pat and the band perform the full track together in a sweet moment, as the audience applauded and watched on mesmerised.
Released in 2001, Drops of Jupiter reached No. 6. on the Billboard 200 list and went on to win two Grammy Awards in 2002.
The song remains one of Train’s biggest hits and this year the band celebrated as it hit 1 billion streams on the music app Spotify.
Taking to TikTok, artist Sedona shared the pinch me moment adding the caption: “It’s not everyday you get to sing your fave song of all time with the dude who wrote it …”
Fans took to the comments gushing over the clip, as one user said: “Love Train. His voice hasn’t changed a bit.”
“5 minutes of his time to make a life long memory,” remarked one fan with another writing: “This is incredible.”
Some in the comments section voiced that Pat had stolen the fans ‘thunder’, saying: “Why not just let u sing the song? Sorry but it bothers me that he took over- stealing your thunder.”
However, the musician was quick to hit back revealing she had called the frontman up to the stage.
She said: “I knew he was there and before I started the song I said ‘this next one is my fave song of all time and the person who wrote this is actually here tonight, sooo you can come up if you’d like’.
”It was an honor for him to come up and sing fr! I had the rest of the 3 hours of the gig for my “thunder”.”
Train hail from San Francisco and are a popular pop rock band who has had many smash hits over the years.
In addition to Drops of Jupiter, Train’s top songs include Careless Whisperer, Hey, Soul Sister and Drive By.
As of 2025 the band consists of Pat, Matt Musty, Jerry Becker, Butch Walker and Hector Maldonado.
Last year, it was sadly revealed that one of the group’s founding members Charlie Colin had passed away at the age of 58.
The musician’s mother revealed Charlie died after he slipped and fell in the shower.
Charlie formed the band alongside Pat, Scott Underwood, Rob Hotchkiss, and Jimmy Stafford.
But in 2003, he was given an ultimatum for his substance abuse and was ultimately forced to leave the band.
“I had a really great run, but it was difficult,” Charlie previously told the Los Angeles Times about his time with the band.
