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
