Alicia Keys showed London commuters there is no one like her.
The Grammy-winning artist delivered a surprise performance at the St. Pancras International train station on Monday with a few of her classics. The crowd rejoiced and surrounded the singer as she sang classic hits like "If I Ain’t Got You" and "No One" while playing piano.
Keys also surprised the audience when altering the "Empire State of Mind" lyrics from "now you’re in New York!" to "now you’re in London!" She also performed her latest song "Lifeline" part of the film soundtrack for "The Color Purple," which premieres on Dec. 25.
The "Girl On Fire" singer joined the list of musicians who have performed on those pianos including John Legend, Tom Odell and Jeff Goldblum. She played on a black piano named after Elton John, who reportedly donated the instrument to the transit hub's main arcade in 2016.
Keys just finished headlining two days of the Jingle Bell Ball event at the O2 Arena over the weekend.
Alicia Keys embarks on Broadway musical 'Hell's Kitchen'
Fans hoping to hear Keys' breathtaking vocals and stage presence can soon see her on Broadway.
The singer-songwriter will embark on a semi-autobiographical musical titled "Hell's Kitchen," for which ticket sales began on Monday.
"I loved going to the theater and I was inspired by it and the songwriting and the expression and the beauty and the way you could be transported," Keys told The Associated Press. "But I never really put it together that maybe one day I would be able to have a debut on Broadway."
Performances will commence on March 28 and opening set is scheduled for April 20.
