Sabrina Carpenter joined by Duran Duran for Hungry Like The Wolf performance at BST Hyde Park
The Espresso hitmaker was joined by the 1980s icons for a rendition of the 1982 hit at her second headlining show in London on Sunday (06.07.25).
Introducing the band as she was joined on stage by frontman Simon Le Bon and bass guitarist John Taylor, Sabrina said: "I also thought it might be fun if I brought out some friends of mine from the UK. I'm going to need you guys to put that howling to good use. But everybody please give it up and make so much noise for the legendary Duran Duran."
Sabrina was also joined by Clairo on both of her BST Hyde Park dates over the weekend, with Beabadoobee performing on Saturday (05.07.25) and Olivia Dean taking to the stage on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old singer revealed last month that she was considering banning phones from her gigs after being inspired by a Silk Sonic gig in Las Vegas where fans were unable to access their devices.
Asked if she would consider making a similar move to Adele and Madonna, Sabrina told Rolling Stone magazine: "This will honestly p*** off my fans, but absolutely.
'Because I went to see Silk Sonic in Vegas, and they locked my phone. I've never had a better experience at a concert.
"I genuinely felt like I was back in the '70s — wasn't alive. Genuinely felt like I was there. Everyone's singing, dancing, looking at each other, and laughing. It really, really just felt so beautiful."
The Manchild artist explained that phones being held up at shows is something that "feels super normal" to her generation, although she is wary of people zooming in on her facial features when she gets older.
Sabrina said: "I've grown up in the age of people having iPhones at shows. It unfortunately feels super normal to me.
"I can't blame people for wanting to have memories. But depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away.
"You cannot zoom in on my face. Right now, my skin is soft and supple. It's fine. Do not zoom in on me when I'm 80 years old up there.'

Jeff Lynne 'gutted' to cancel final shows
Jeff Lynne was "absolutely gutted" to cancel Electric Light Orchestra's (ELO) final shows. The Mr. Blue Sky group had been due to end their Over And Out farewell tour at BST Hyde Park in London last weekend but the show, as well as the penultimate performance in Manchester three days before, was axed after the 77-year-old singer contracted a "systemic infection". Jeff has now spoken out for the first time since the cancellation and thanked fans for their support. He said in a statement: "I am now at home recuperating. 'I was absolutely gutted to have to cancel the final two shows. 'I send my heartfelt thanks to all of the fans as well as my band and crew for all their support and love.' It was announced last Saturday (12.07.25) that ELO's London show would be unable to take place the following evening. A statement read: "Jeff Lynne is heartbroken to report that he will not be able to perform at tomorrow's BST Hyde Park show. "Jeff has been battling a systemic infection and is currently in the care of a team of doctors who have advised him that performing is simply not possible at this time nor will he be able to reschedule. The legacy of the band and his longtime fans are foremost in Jeff's mind today - and while he is so sorry that he cannot perform, he knows that he must focus on his health and rehabilitation at this time." ELO had been forced to cancel their gig at Manchester's Co-Op Live on Thursday (10.07.25) just minutes before taking to the stage, which had sparked fears that the Hyde Park farewell might not take place. A statement on the band's social media accounts confirmed: "Unfortunately, due to illness, tonight's scheduled performance of Jeff Lynne's ELO at the Co-Op Live will not be going ahead. "Jeff is devastated he cannot perform this evening. More information will become available as soon as possible. For refunds, please go to your point of purchase." The singer had previously discussed how it was fitting to be performing ELO's final show at Hyde Park, as it was where the Evil Woman band returned to the stage after a 25-year absence in 2014. Jeff said: "My return to touring began at Hyde Park in 2014. "It seems like the perfect place to do our final show. We couldn't be more excited to share this special night in London with our UK fans. "As the song goes, 'We're gonna do it One More Time!'"

Sabrina Carpenter praises Emails I Can't Send as 'gateway' to career highs
Sabrina Carpenter says Emails I Can't Send was a "gateway to many special moments". The 26-year-old singer released her fifth studio album - which included singles Skinny Dipping, Fast Times, Vicious, Because I Liked A Boy and Nonsense - on July 15, 2022 and she has reflected on the impact of the record three years since it dropped. She wrote on her Instagram Story: "3 years of my dear emails. 'This album means so much to me and was the gateway to many special moments I couldn't see ahead. 'I will never take this chapter for granted and what it taught me and how much closer it brought me to each and every one of you. 'Thanks to those of you who sing along. I love you forever!' When Emails I Can't Send was released, it gave Sabrina what was then her highest ever Billboard 200 chart position at number 23. At the time, she wrote on Instagram: 'I kind of had to unlearn myself and learn myself again in order to make this album. "It's the one i'm most proud of thus far in my life. "It's the one I hope you listen to and feel like we were hanging and confiding in each other for an hour.' She toured the album, which included opening for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, and then followed up with 2024 album Short n' Sweet, which featured hit singles like Espresso, Please Please Please, Bed Chem and Juno. The record topped the charts, and earned the pop star her first ever Grammy Awards. She's set to release her seventh studio LP, Man's Best Friend, next month. Sabrina shocked fans with the artwork, which shows her on all fours in front of a man pulling her hair. The album will include the lead single, Manchild, which upon its release, Sabrina thanked "men for testing me". She added on Instagram: "i wrote manchild on a random tuesday with amy and jack not too long after finishing short n' sweet and it ended up being the best random tuesday of my life "not only was it so fun to write, but this song became to me something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life. "it sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer ! "hence why i wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long! (sic)"
