A British busker filmed singing a Justin Bieber song on a street in Eastbourne said it was \u201clike a VR experience\u201d when he then duetted with the star on stage in front of 50,000 people.<\/p>\n
Sam Tompkins says he didn\u2019t believe it at first when he was told his hero was following him on Instagram. But he messaged the Despacito hitmaker just to check. Sam then heard back from Justin a few minutes later, and the two hit it off immediately. <\/p>\n
The busker recalled: \u201cHe said \u2018You've got a gift\u2019 but I was really cool about it\u201d. Sam thinks his video singing \u2018Love Yourself\u2019 on a street in Eastbourne grabbed Justin\u2019s attention. But a couple of weeks later, all hell broke loose when Justin was doing an online live stream.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was sitting on the sofa in the dark looking like an absolute hobbit,\u201d Sam told the Happy Hour podcast, \u201cand I requested to be a part of it as a joke\u201d. But Justin didn\u2019t take it as a joke: \u201c10 minutes later the screen splits and says \u2018you're going live with Justin Bieber in five'. I said \u2018Oh f***,oh s***'." <\/p>\n
Minutes after he appeared on the live stream to Justin\u2019s 293million followers, Sam\u2019s phone started blowing up. Even his mum got in touch to comment on his sudden fame. \u201cWe were just chatting about life,\u201d Sam says, \u201cand I think in that moment our conversation was so fluid and considering how nervous I was it was actually really nice. I thought I felt at that point it was one of those weird moments as silly as it sounds. You realise he\u2019s just a dude like me and we just get on. We have similar interests and outlooks on life."<\/p>\n

But the Bieber connection got even deeper when Sam and his manager flew to Los Angeles on business. Justin called Sam out of the blue. Sam said: "Bear in mind I haven't spoken to him on FaceTime or anything for three months. He looks a billion dollars. He's been up for three hours been to the gym."<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Sam was feeling distinctly the worse for wear after a night out. He says: "He's got a really great sense of humour. Justin said \u2018I guess you don\u2019t want to go for breakfast then?\u2019 And I ran out of my room \u2013 it was like Christmas." That friendly breakfast wasn\u2019t the last time Sam and Justin met up. The Brighton-based singer scored a support act slot on one of his hero\u2019s tours and was invited to watch the show from the side of the stage.<\/p>\n

"I was watching him and I looked at the set list and it had 'Peaches' with an arrow that said \u2018Sam\u2019 by it." Sam could hardly believe his eyes, saying: \u201cI was in a full tracksuit \u2013 I looked s***. "I just went to my manager \u2018Mate, do you mind just holding my tracksuit I'm just going to get changed just in case. Literally as soon as I got my stuff on, I heard him go \u2018Welcome my friend Sam to the stage\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n

Sam says: "It felt a VR experience. Imagine 50,000 people and you\u2019re just standing there, going back and forth with your favourite artist of all time, on one of your favourite songs. It was pretty intense."<\/p>\n
