In disguise
Nobody recognises Nile Rodgers as he busks on London’s South Bank
Well, some people noticed the Chic legend.
A few hours after playing to tens of thousands of people at London’s BST Hyde Park, Nile Rodgers gigged to an audience of no more than a dozen at the capital’s Sound Bank.
The Chic legend was dressed up in disguise, so as not to draw too much attention. Only a handful of passers by ended up noticing, and that was after he started playing ‘Freak Out’.
Earlier this year, Chic released their first album in 20 years, ‘It’s About Time’.
