Premier League star stuns fans by playing guitar on stage at Kaiser Chiefs gig
Kaiser Chiefs played a hometown gig in Leeds to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Employment, and Patrick Bamford joined the Yorkshire band on stage Leeds star Patrick Bamford swapped goalscoring for guitar-playing as he joined indie band Kaiser Chiefs for a loan spell on Saturday. The Leeds-based rockers played at the city's Temple Newsam to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Employment. Bamford, 31, came on stage for the hit song 'I Predict A Riot' which has soundtracked the Yorkshire side's promotion back to the Premier League this season. The striker came out with an acoustic guitar, as frontman Ricky Wilson introduced him. Kitted out in festival attire, Bamford wore a bucket hat, shorts and a retro Leeds shirt from with 'Viduka 9' on the back. Not only that, Bamford brought out the Championship trophy which Leeds clinched on a dramatic final day. Former team-mate Kalvin Phillips shared footage of the moment on his Instagram page. "What an absolute legend! @patrick_bamford @luke_ayling2," Phillips posted, standing backstage with ex-Leeds captain Luke Ayling. Bamford also reposted the video of his performance and shared another clip. Phillips, who now plays for Manchester City, commented: "My hero." Mark Viduka even reacted to Bamford's turn as a guitarist, saying: "What a privilege." Leeds-supporting Kaiser Chiefs played concerts at Elland Road, in 2008 and 2019. The band posted after Saturday's anniversary gig: "Thank you!!! What an incredible evening celebrating with you all, it was everything and more." They'll be hoping that Leeds can establish themselves as Premier League stalwarts over the next few years, just as they were when the band were formed in the early 2000s. Employment, which remains the biggest-selling album by any Leeds-based artist, was released in March 2005 during Leeds' second season after being relegated to the Championship. It only took them two years to bounce back this time around, as manager Daniel Farke led them to the league title and promotion. Bass player Simon Rix co-hosts a Leeds podcast for the BBC. Where will Leeds finish next season? Give us your prediction in the comments section. When Farke's side pulled off a 3-1 win against promotion rivals Leicester in February 2024, 'I Predict A Riot' was played over the Elland Road speakers, as fans belted out the tune at full-time. "It's kind of perfect, isn't it?" Rix told GiveMeSport. "We've been lucky enough to entwine ourselves with Leeds United a few times by playing concerts at Elland Road and they used to come out to the first bit of 'I Predict A Riot' during the Marcelo Bielsa era. "I think that was just a special moment. Leeds have played 'I Predict A Riot' at the end before, but never like that. That was like the perfect game of football. "It's against the promotion rival, you're losing, and then the comeback was amazing. Then, all four sides of Elland Road were on their feet, singing, shouting, swearing, and dancing. It's a great moment." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
