“So I did some surprise pop up gigs in fans houses, secretly recording a live album ofAutumn Variationswhere each song is recorded in a different fans living room, but all of it was a total surprise,” he captioned the post, alongside a video of the singer playing “Wake Me Up” on a fan’s keyboard while she freaked out.
He continued, “We got to@kariconaway‘s house at the end of the day, and I instantly knew it was gonna be a fun one. They had cats, friendship bracelets and some fruit drinks to start, but once I’d played theAutumnsong I said take me on a tour, and when I went into her room I saw a piano. She asked if I could play and I said, ‘Not really but I kinda play on ‘Wake Me Up,"’ so here I am playing ‘Wake Me Up,’ for all thePlusfans out there.”
