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.

Premier League star wows thousands of fans as he plays guitar on stage with the Kaiser Chiefs at huge anniversary gig
THE Kaiser Chiefs pulled off the loan transfer coup of the summer - in front of thousands of delirious fans. Leeds' promotion-winning striker Patrick Bamford joined the rockers' homecoming gig on stage with a guitar. 4 Patrick Bamford seemed to enjoy his cameo almost as much as winning promotion back to the Premier League... almost! 4 Kalvin Phillips tagged in Patrick Bamford and Middlesbrough's ex-Leeds hero Luke Ayling in his Instagram post 4 Bamford made a crowd-pleasing appearance Kalvin Phillips then heightened talk of a return to Elland Road by labelling his former team-mate a "legend" for his cameo. Bamford electrified the atmosphere at Leeds' Temple Newsam still further as the crowd loved his surprise cameo. The Kaiser Chiefs are best known for their massive hit I Predict a Riot, which was also the theme tune for the Whites' party after Championship title glory last month. But no-one predicted Bamford's appearance at the gig on the 20th anniversary of the group's first album.

He wore a Leeds top from 2000-01 with 'Viduka 9' on the back. Ex-frontman Mark Viduka, 49, had his longest spell in English football with the Whites - from 2000-2004. And he too reacted to Bamford's guitar-playing cameo. 4 The Kaiser Chiefs added to the party mood across the city BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK But it's just possible Viduka was referring to the hitman's kit rather than his musical ability as the Aussie posted: "What a privilege." Bamford's effort was all the more remarkable as it followed Leeds' prolonged celebrations, including a trip to Vegas, after they pipped Burnley to the second-tier crown. Inside Leeds stars' wild title celebrations as Bamford and Ampadu 'leave Burnley fanbase in meltdown' with karaoke song Daniel Farke's side are returning to the Premier League after two seasons out. And many reckon Phillips will be making his own comeback - to Elland Road. The 29-year-old has had a dire three years away after joining Manchester City, typified by injury and then mediocre loan spells at West Ham and Ipswich. Phillips bigged up Bamford on Instagram as he responded to the star's rocking intervention by posting: "What an absolute legend". That's also the status Phillips had at his hometown club Leeds. But the anchorman he could be out for two months following surgery on an Achilles problem. And for now Wham Bam is the man - thanks to the Chiefs. One fan raved: "Crowd were amazing and a lot of fun was had! Cameo performance from P Bamford an absolute highlight!!' Another wrote: "Great day out at what was a mini-festival more than a gig. Kaiser Chiefs were amazing, bringing Patrick Bamford and the Championship trophy out on stage added to a very Leeds-centric gig (so many LUFC shirts there)."
