Trevor Horn, a legend of music, gave a surprise performance alongside Sophie Grey over the weekend at her recent performance in Kentish Town.
Legendary producer and Buggles co-founder Trevor Horn stunned fans on Friday by taking to the stage for a surprise performance. The star joined rising musician Sophie Grey during her gig at O2 Forum Kentish Town in London for an impromptu performance.
The crowd was delighted to see the duo perform Video Killed the Radio Star at the event. Many people praised an unanticipated duet on social media.
One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, gushed, “Just saw Trevor Horn play one song with Sting’s support act at Kentish Town Forum on stage.” Great work, indeed”!
In the one-off collaboration, Horn and Sophie reimagined the well-known hit. The upcoming star’s Retro Electro sound and the song’s enduring new-wave energy were merged. And it was obvious that she had assembled a remarkable set.

Her new version of the song was released shortly after the performance. It is said to have a retro-inspired, slow-burning synth production.
As history repeats itself and electronics rise once more, Sophie previously remarked of the song, “Video Killed the Radio Star is a timeless song.”
The University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music taught the pianist and keyboardist classical music. Dr. Patrice Rushen, a songwriter and GRAMMY-nominated author, mentored her.
The Buggles’ music video, Video Killed the Radio Star, debuted on MTV for the first time in August 1981. On August 1, the phrase “Ladies and gentlemen…rock and roll” was heard loudly at the time.
The first video started playing at that time. And it was The Buggles’ hit song, which unsurprisingly surprised some people. The song, however, had already been played for two years and wasn’t brand-new.
The band formed when Horn met his future Buggles guitarist Geoff Downes and played together in Tina Charles’ band in the late 1970s. When it first aired on the charts in 1979, their song was at the top.
The pair then recorded their drama album together, joining Yes. The band then produced the 1983 album 90125 that won the Grammys.
He later co-produced the films Fly From Here and Big Generator from 1987. Fans were shocked to learn that Horn was included on a surprise Friday night performance, but it comes as he prepares for a short tour.
At the end of the year, he’ll give three concerts. He’ll be playing shows in London, Manchester, and Newcastle during the gigs.
Sophie will also be extending her own tour to other locations in London. She most recently made an appearance on Marianas Trench and Shaggy.
