At Brooklyn’s C’mon Everybody venue, music fans got a huge surprise. On August 6, David Byrne, the iconic lead singer of Talking Heads, took the stage and started singing “This Must Be the Place.” Fans were not expecting to hear this classic track, which has appeared in many movies and holds a special place in music history.
TikTok user @simonenorman1 shared their excitement, saying, “David Byrne got on stage at the Brass Queens show at C’mon Everybody out of nowhere and it was unreal.” The 73-year-old musician chose this fan-favorite song from the album *Speaking in Tongues*, which was released in 1983. His voice filled the room, making it feel like time had stood still.
The crowd was stunned when he appeared, and within minutes, videos of the performance flooded social media, capturing the joy and disbelief of fans. This surprise performance comes just before Byrne embarks on a new tour to promote his upcoming album, *Who is the Sky?*, which will take him across America, Britain, and Ireland through 2026.
Fans couldn’t stop raving about his performance. Many noted how well his voice has aged, while others expressed their wish to see him perform live. One fan even compared him to Bill Murray for his spontaneous interactions with the audience. There’s a strong desire for more surprise performances like this one.
With a GRAMMY and an Oscar to his name, Byrne’s shows in Manchester and London are selling out quickly. This unexpected moment at C’mon Everybody has left fans buzzing and eager for more.
