Photo: Chad Smith | By Greg Evans, The Independent | A busker has gone viral for being completely unaware that he was performing in front of one of the members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers while playing one of their songs. Buskers have had various interactions with famous musicians as of late, with Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Kelly Clarkson all acknowledging street performers.
The talented drummer, who has been viewed more than 49 million times on TikTok, was filmed jamming away on Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade to a rendition of the band’s 1999 hit song ‘Otherside’ from the album Californication.
As the camera pans out we see none other than the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith, chilling out and appreciating the drummer’s cover of his track.
However, the drummer is completely in the zone and doesn’t appear to notice that Smith is sitting right in front of him.
The person who captured the moment, captioned the video, writing “Who wants to tell him?” The person also added in the description of the video: “Imagine shooting hoops in front of Michael Jordan and not even realizing it?”
