A Belsonic gig turned into a life-changing moment when a young fan was invited on stage by Zach Bryan to perform in front of 45,000 people.<\/p>\n
With golden circle tickets bought back in November and a handmade sign ready, 16-year-old Paul had one goal – to join the American singer on stage for Nine Ball and against all odds that dream came true. <\/p>\n
As Bryan began playing the intro to Nine Ball, it looked like the moment had passed, but then the singer spotted the sign and stopped.<\/p>\n
Security lifted him over the barriers, onto the stage, and the rest was history.<\/p>\n
“He said: ‘Play for your dad, I’ve never seen a poster like that before\u2026 do we trust him?'” Paul recalled, as the crowd roared in support.<\/p>\n
“I walked out on the stage and 45,000 people were cheering at me,” he said.<\/p>\n
What followed was a surreal duet of Nine Ball, with Paul performing alongside one of his musical heroes despite only having take up guitar 10 months ago.<\/p>\n
Bryan asked him on stage why he wanted to play the song for his dad, and Paul said the conversation helped settle his nerves.<\/p>\n
“Before this, I wouldn’t have even had the confidence to record myself and post it so, it’s a little bit of a leap,” he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Belsonic gig turned into a life-changing moment when a young fan was invited on stage by Zach…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":656302,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-656301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=656301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=656301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=656301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=656301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
