The 26-year-old singer surprised fans when she invited lead vocalist Simon Le Bon and bassist John Taylor on stage. They performed their iconic 1982 hit, Hungry Like the Wolf , creating a magical moment for all in attendance, according to People Before the performance, Sabrina Carpenter playfully warmed up the crowd, encouraging them to howl like wolves. 'I thought it might be fun if I brought out some friends of mine from the U.K.,' she told the excited audience. 'I'm going to need you guys to put that howling to good use. Could everybody please give it up and make so much noise for the legendary Duran Duran?' The crowd responded enthusiastically as Le Bon and Taylor took the stage, with Le Bon greeting the crowd warmly: 'Good evening, London!' The collaboration saw Le Bon sing the first verse, while Sabrina Carpenter harmonised on the chorus and took over the second verse. Taylor provided backing vocals and bass, anchoring the performance. The crowd joined in with howls throughout, adding to the electric atmosphere. This rendition of Hungry Like the Wolf , a track from Duran Duran's second album Rio , remains their most-streamed song. It's a timeless classic that resonated strongly with the multi-generational audience at Hyde Park. Duran Duran later shared their appreciation on Instagram, describing the performance as 'amazing'. They thanked Carpenter for the special collaboration amid their busy summer European tour schedule. The band, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2024, have continued to captivate audiences with their 16th album Danse Macabre , released in 2023. This event highlighted the vibrant connection between contemporary pop stars and classic rock legends, bridging generations and genres. Sabrina Carpenter's ability to unite diverse audiences with such an iconic British act reflects the global nature of music today. Her upcoming seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend , set for release on 29 August 2025. It follows the success of her single Manchild , which reached number one in both the US and UK charts. This is a significant achievement that Carpenter credited to her fans' unwavering support. Sabrina Carpenter's energy and enthusiasm were palpable as she told Rolling Stone, 'Not to be dramatic, but what can I do while my legs still work? I'm limber, let's use it. My brain is sharp, let's write. It's such a beautiful time right now. I want to soak it up and keep making things while I'm feeling this way.' This drive will see her headline Lollapalooza in Chicago in August before embarking on a tour in October and November. The Hyde Park show was a celebration of music's enduring power to unite and inspire. As Sabrina Carpenter said to her fans, 'Because of you, Manchild is my first debut #1 in the US and the UK. I love you so much it doesn't make any sense! Thank you endlessly!' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Sabrina Carpenter in incredible duet with music legends at London show
Sabrina Carpenter brought out British band Duran Duran for an amazing duet at BST Hyde Park which thrilled fans Music star Sabrina Carpenter performed an amazing duet with Duran Duran during her second sold-out BST Hyde Park show. The band were brought on for their hit Hungry Like the Wolf. Their performance had been a closely-guarded secret all weekend. There was no special guest for the first show.A source said: "Sabrina is a huge Duran Duran fan and wanted to mix things up." The Mirror told today how the US singer pulled out all the stops this weekend. The star, 26, came prepared with the team to ensure she was in tip-top shape for the energy-sapping shows on Saturday and Sunday night, and even had her own ambulance as backstage was locked down. Security was also 'unprecedented' backstage, say insiders, and 'unlike anything they've ever seen before", for the over 65,000 strong crowd. The show went down a storm with Sabrina saying she has been constantly checking the weather app as she was worried about British weather. 'The first thing I did was look at the weather app because you guys are shady here,' said the Pennsylvania-born singer, who followed on from Noah Kahan's performance on Friday night, which featured a special appearance from Lewis Capaldi. And as the crowd sang along to a string of hits from her recent single releases, Sabrina couldn't help but swoon over the crystal clear vocals. 'Hearing you sing in these accents is just ….', she laughed. Rounding off the show with what's arguably the hit that catapulted her to household name-status, Sabrina belted out Espresso with the help of the lively crowd. Sharing pictures from Saturday night in London to Instagram, Sabrina - who wore an embellished red romper with her name emblazoned on the front at one point in the show - wrote: "NIGHT 1 HYDE PARK magical and unbelievable. 65,000 of your beautiful faces and we get the privilege of doing it all again tonight!! See you soon i love you". Sabrina is set to release her seventh studio album, titled Man's Best Friend, in late August, following the monumental success of her previous 2024 effort, Short 'n' Sweet. Talking of the new release online, Sabrina wrote to Instagram recently: "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 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's embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never-ending road trip in the summer." She concluded, "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! thank you always and forever for listening and thank you men for testing me!"

Iconic '80s Rocker, 64, Nearly Unrecognizable in Rare Public Outing
Iconic '80s Rocker, 64, Nearly Unrecognizable in Rare Public Outing originally appeared on Parade. A member of a hugely popular '80s rock band was out interacting with fans in Italy over the weekend. John Taylor, founding member and bassist for legendary '80s new wave rock group Duran Duran, was photographed walking through the streets of Rome, Italy, on Sunday, June 15, where he stopped to interact with some fans. Duran Duran, made up of Taylor, Nick Rhodes, Simon Le Bon and Roger Taylor (no relation), is considered one of the biggest bands that was part of the Second British Invasion of U.S. music, this one largely fueled by the rise of MTV and music videos. The new wave group burst on the scene with cinematic, sometimes eyebrow-raising music videos for their songs "Girls on Film," "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Rio," plus they topped U.S. charts with their James Bond theme song for the film of the same name, "A View to a Kill."In fact, Duran Duran won two Grammy Awards for their music videos, both in 1984 — Best Music Video Short Form for "Girls on Film" and "Hungry Like the Wolf," and Best Music Video Long Form for their self-titled video album. The band received the MTV Video Music Awards Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. Their Hall of Fame induction actually led to their most recent album, Danse Macabre. They were basically doing a warm-up for the Hall of Fame ceremony that involved a Halloween-themed concert and that led to the album, which is full of spooky covers of their greatest hits, covers of other artists' songs, plus three new songs. John Taylor told Classic Pop Mag of the album, "On Danse Macabre, you can really see behind the curtain of who the whole band is." 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Iconic '80s Rocker, 64, Nearly Unrecognizable in Rare Public Outing first appeared on Parade on Jun 16, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 16, 2025, where it first appeared.
