A homey New Zealand pub has played spontaneous host to a performance from one the world\u2019s biggest pop stars, Justin Bieber.<\/p>\n
The Canadian musician visited the Duke of Marlborough Hotel in Russell on New Zealand\u2019s north island.<\/p>\n
Justin visited the pub along with seven companions and treated patrons by playing the free red baby grand piano, hotel co-owner Anton Haagh told RNZ.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was just after a few beers and some snacks,\u201d Mr Haagh said. \u00a0<\/p>\n
After some sustenance \u201che just jumped on and started knocking out a few tunes.”<\/p>\n
Haagh described the impromptu performance has “really surreal”.<\/p>\n
Bieber wasn\u2019t singing, just playing modern melodies on the piano after enjoying his seafood dinner which included oysters and ika mata according to ODT.<\/p>\n
Haagh told ODT she discretely asked for anyone who spotted Bieber to relax and enjoy the moment instead of “spoil” it by taking photos.<\/p>\n
She said the group left in the nick of time, with an onslaught of up to 40 people rolling into the venue shortly after having heard whispers of a celebrity in their midst.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The hotel holds the country’s first liquor license and its playful slogan captures it well: \u201cRefreshing Rascals and Reprobates Since 1827\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cJustin Bieber rocked up to a random bar up north looking like a dude that drives a Nissan Skyline,\u201d TikToker Joe Daymond jested.<\/p>\n
Bieber was in town for a holiday complete with golf and fishing, according to the New Zealand Herald.<\/p>\n
In a series of photos posted to Instagram it looked to be a true-blue boys trip complete with cigars, helicopters and even a foray at a shooting range.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A homey New Zealand pub has played spontaneous host to a performance from one the world\u2019s biggest pop…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":650899,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[21880,58513,245,727,5396,146,2590,31396,4789,25262,3900,85,292784,1114,46,1850,292786,409,1630,28876,292785,48931,875,18370,292665,292783,4952,34486,10700,45682],"class_list":["post-650898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-baby","tag-bieber","tag-canada","tag-celebrity","tag-content","tag-entertainment","tag-fishing","tag-golf","tag-hailey-bieber","tag-helicopter","tag-holiday","tag-il","tag-insta","tag-instagram","tag-israel","tag-justin-bieber","tag-lotr","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-nz","tag-perform","tag-play","tag-pop","tag-pop-star","tag-russell","tag-sorry","tag-star","tag-surprise","tag-tiktok","tag-trip"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
