Despite attempting to keep a low profile, he still had his trademark smile.
So, have you guessed who it is?
That’s right, it is James Blunt, the iconic English singer best known for his 2005 hit You’re Beautiful!
James is currently performing across Australia and New Zealand and looks to be keeping a low profile during his downtime.
In November last year, James backed out of legally changing his name to ‘Blunty McBluntface’.
The British singer vowed to make the change if his new album made it to number one in the charts – but it did not.
The 51-year-old re-released his 2004 Back To Bedlam and previously promised to change him name to ‘whatever the public wanted’ if the music reached the top.
However, he was saved by the album’s chart performance landing at number seven – well short of number one.

James appeared on Australia’s The Project and said he was ‘relieved’ he didn’t have to change his name.
‘I’m hugely relieved… That’s because if my album had gone to one I’d change their name to whatever the British public chose. They chose that,’ he said.
‘I’m happy because my wife promised to change her name to her maiden name’ he added, laughing.
He joked that he would have chosen to call himself ‘Jimmy Spliff’ if he had the choice, and also listed off the name his children chose for him.
‘I have kids and they really wanted Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Pop Star’ the 5′ 8′ hitmaker added.
Blunt released Back To Bedlam two decades ago and the record featured huge hits such as You’re Beautiful, High, Wisemen, and Goodbye My Lover.
The album went on to reach the top spot on the UK albums chart for weeks and is now certified 10x Platinum.
In celebration of its 20th anniversary, the Hampshire star was re-releasing the album and going on tour.
