Buskers live an interesting life—the streets are their stage and their biggest reward is when people enjoy their performances.

Many aspiring artists (and some renowned ones as well) have started their musical careers by busking, and it can be quite a way to introduce your work to a wider audience. When you perform on the streets, something exciting has to happen, sooner or later.

In this video, a young busker gets a surprise of his life when Steven Tyler joins in to sing along—it doesn’t get much more exciting than that!

If the original singer joins in while you’re performing his song, it’s a pretty good sign that you’re doing it right.

This is a simple and heartwarming video of two musicians enjoying a beautiful song, even though Mr. Tyler is a superstar.

There are countless similar examples out there because music has always united people. For those who don’t know, “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” is one of Aerosmith’s most popular ballads, and it debuted at number one of the US Billboard Hot 100 when it came out. Several artists have covered the song, but this young busker had no idea that he’d get the chance to share this Aerosmith classic with Steven Tyler himself.

All of this happened on the streets of Moscow.

When the video begins, a busker is standing in the middle of the street with his acoustic guitar singing.

There is a crowd around him filming his performance and cheering him on. It is all a regular busking performance until we spot Steven Tyler in the audience. His bodyguards are with him, and he seems to be enjoying the busker’s version of his song very much. Tyler wears an interesting jacket and a big hat.

After a few moments, he decides to join in!

The funny thing is that even his bodyguards didn’t expect it, but Tyler goes on to leave everyone speechless.

As soon as they see what’s going on, the crowd starts clapping and screaming in excitement. At first, the young singer was shocked and wouldn’t keep singing, but Tyler encouraged the performer to duet with him.

This is the kind of thing that happens when enthusiasm and experience meet with opportunity!

When Aerosmith’s frontman stepped in, this young man continued to play guitar and did it perfectly.

It’s clear he has a lot of talent and plenty of enthusiasm about the music he wants to share with the world. If a lot more experienced singers gave a spotlight to these young people full of potential, we would have a whole new world of music full of interesting experiments. The best thing about this video is the atmosphere—everyone is enjoying themselves.

At the end, the two singers even pose for photographs!
