17-year-old Yazzy stunned crowds on Friday night when she stepped up to fill in for Adele‘s canceled Wembley Arena gig.
In an act of true busking heroism, the Devon based singer spent hours driving around London locating equipment to perform outside the stadium. The young singer performed for 3 hours until nightfall as people flocked over to watch her.
Her incredible impromptu gig has since been praised by people from all around the world, with many of them sharing their experiences online.

Adele, unfortunately, has had to cancel a string of tour dates following complications with her vocal cords. The ‘Hello‘ singer has since made a statement online via Twitter stating that: “It turns out I have damaged my vocal cords. And on medical advice I am simply unable to perform over the weekend.” See her full post below.

Posting a new video online, Yazzy has thanked all that shared this moving experience with her.
“Firstly I just want to say a massive thankyou for all the messages I’ve received over the past 24hrs, its been truly overwhelming.”
In the warm statement she also said: “When I arrived the equipment I borrowed didn’t work but before I’d even started singing the crowd had start to form, everyone just wanted to sing so thats what we did…for 3 hours until it became it dark and it really was ‘love in the dark’. I feel like I’ve made so many friends that evening & met so many people from all around the world. I’m so so glad I went down & people were still so keen to join in & still enjoy their night!”
Yazzy, a friend of Music Crowns, is currently trying to reach out to Adele in the hope she makes a speedy recovery and can perform soon.
