Adam Hyde Takes Train to Gigs Amid Rising Costs

Adam Hyde is touring around Australia and beyond - and he's not above taking the train. 

The musician is on the road with Peking Duk, his electronic duo alongside Reuben Styles, for the group's Thrills Tour. 

And last week, the 35-year-old revealed that he opted for public transport to a recent festival slot due to the rising cost of . 

'When petrol costs $2.40 but you have a festival to headline,' a video shared on Peking Duk's Instagram page last week was captioned. 

The clip showed Adam and Reuben riding the subway before stepping onto the stage to perform a set. 

The band's fans were impressed by their responsible display as the fuel crisis continues to impact Australia. 

'Model citizens. Leading by example in all areas of life. Killing it,' wrote one person.

Another said: 'Public transportation is always more efficient,' while one more commented, 'How did you just make me love you guys more?!' 

It seems Adam has won back public favour after pulling out of his heavily-criticised gig at a major horse racing event in February. 

The Peking Duk frontman was set to perform under his stage name 'Keli Holiday' on the first day of Royal Randwick's Championships carnival on April 4, The Australian Turf Club announced. 

However, following extensive backlash, The Australian Turf Club confirmed that Hyde had officially withdrawn from the event. 

'The Australian Turf Club (ATC) advises that the scheduled performance by Keli Holiday at The Championships Day 1 has been cancelled,' a social media post on the club's official page read. 

'Keli Holiday's management has informed ATC of his decision to withdraw from the performance. We will provide further event updates where relevant.'

Hyde and his media personality girlfriend  were slammed as hypocrites after the top-charting musician initially took the paid gig to perform at the major race meet despite Chatfield's anti-racing stance.
