Commuters gobsmacked as HUGE US boyband spotted on London underground travelling to their own sold-out gig
IT’S not every day that global superstars are seen slumming it on the London Underground.
But Jonas Brother’s fans who were headed to the boyband’s concert at the O2 arena in North Greenwich got the shock of their lives yesterday.
Brothers Nick and Kevin were spotted at Green Park station, as they opted to travel to the venue by tube.
Soon the phones were up recording the incident and it wasn’t long before the footage found its way onto social media site, TikTok.
One fan who was travelling to the concert, Sarah Leilaxo, managed to grab some a coveted selfie with each of the brothers.
She told The Sun: “
“My childhood dream was to randomly bump into them and that is exactly what happened.
“Only this time I was in the way to their concert. I stepped off the tube at North Greenwich and walking towards the escalator as I was waiting I glanced next to me and had to do a double take, it was Joe Jonas.” Sarah explained.
“I don’t think a lot of people recognized him at that point and I actually was debating whether it was him or a fan who styled themselves like him.
He got the escalator in front of me to the ticket hall as I was planning to get through the barrier and ask for a photo, as I went through he was in the one next to me and his card wasn’t allowing him to pass through the barrier.
I headed towards the exit so I could catch him leaving and asked for a photo and as I was leaving I turned around and Nick Jonas was walking right behind me.
I was in complete shock, I asked for a photo and he was so sweet about it he said sure and after told me to have a great show.
Right after I realised Kevin was behind him so I ask Kevin for a photo he agreed too. Kevin was so lovely.”
No doubt the brothers have taken some tips from rapper Jay Z and Chris Martin of Coldplay, who travelled by tube to their gig back in 2013.
Formed in 2005 the brothers, Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas first gained popularity through the Disney channel, starring in films including Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2.
They released six albums and were nominated for best new artists at the 2008 Grammys. After breaking up in 2013, they reformed in 2019, with their sixth album, Happiness Begins which topped the US billboard 200.
Recently the divorce was finalised between Joe Jonas, 35, and Games of Thrones actress Sophie Turner, 28, with whom he has two daughters, after just five years of marriage.
Meanwhile having dated Miley Cyrus in the early noughties, Nick, 32, is now married to Indian actress and producer, Priyankra Chopra with whom he has a daughter.
The band now travel to Europe where they have several concerts in European cities, including Cologne, Milan, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Krakow.
