Delta Goodrem: Aussie singer surprises commuters at London station with piano performance
Aussie songstress Delta Goodrem has surprised commuters at London's St Pancras International Station with an impromptu performance on Wednesday. Jumping on the piano — which was gifted to the station by English composer Andrew Lloyd Webber in late 2024 — the 40-year-old treated onlookers to several hits from her second album Mistaken Identity as she celebrated the project's 20th anniversary. The album symbolised the star's triumphant re-emergence following a battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at just 18. Having clearly lost none of her powerful vocal range, the girl who was 'born to try' painted smiles on the faces of travellers as the echoing of classics Wings, Predictable, Hearts on the Run, and other hits rang out through the cavernous concourse. 'This is the most magical place,' Goodrem reportedly told fans between songs. 'Every piano tells a story—and this one's seen some legends. I'm honoured to share a few songs with you while I'm here in the UK.' With Sir Elton John first gifting a Yamaha piano to the station in 2016, the transient landmark has become a hub for talented stars to ply their craft — including Alicia Keys, Nora Jones, Jeff Goldblum, John Legend, and Sir Rod Stewart. Peter Martin-Jones, Head of Marketing at London St. Pancras Highspeed, said the Aussie's performance would serve to continue the legacy. 'We're thrilled to have welcomed Delta Goodrem to St. Pancras International for this special performance,' Mr Martin-Jones said. 'Our public pianos have become a stage for extraordinary talent and unforgettable moments, and Delta's visit was no exception. It's moments like these that make St. Pancras a unique cultural hub for London, bringing music and joy to all who pass through.' Dressed in a black leather jacket and pants to contrast with her white heels, some fans may have clocked Goodrem's imposing diamond ring worn since her engagement to Aussie guitarist Matthew Copley in 2023. However, the talent was not seen complimenting it with the diamond band that she had reportedly rocked during her two sold-out Hackney Empire shows in London earlier this month, which prompted speculation the couple had wedded in secret.

The 40-year-old put in a spirited performance as she tickled the ivories while onlookers sang along. Delta even took the time to pose for selfies with beaming fans and sign some autographs.

The Australian songstress sat down behind the Sir Elton John piano at St Pancras International Station on Wednesday to the immense delight of the gathered crowd However Delta ditched the diamond band she had worn together with the sparkler just weeks ago, after sparkling chatter that she has secretly wed. Delta sent fans into a frenzy after stepping on stage in London wearing a diamond band on her left hand wedding finger earlier this month, after celebrating her hen's party. The singer is currently in the UK performing a series of exclusive shows to mark 20 years since her iconic Mistaken Identity album, but it wasn't just her singing that had people talking. During a performance at the Hackney Empire, Delta was spotted wearing a sparkling band embedded with diamonds on her ring finger alongside her three-carat engagement ring. The surprising find has fuelled speculation Delta may have quietly tied the knot with Matthew. Though the couple has not confirmed any nuptials, the lavish band didn't go unnoticed. However, Delta was not wearing the diamond band when she appeared on UK talk show Loose Women the day before, adding to the ring riddle. Delta, who has remained private about her personal life, got engaged to Matthew, her guitarist and musical collaborator, in September 2023. She was surrounded by fans who filmed the entire event Delta sent fans into a frenzy after stepping on stage in London wearing a diamond band on her left hand wedding finger earlier this month, after celebrating her hen's party The couple, who met through music, have been inseparable ever since, working together on tours and composing side by side. Adding to the mounting speculation is the fact Delta recently celebrated a lavish hen's party in Sydney's Pittwater. The star was seen cruising around Palm Beach with a group of girlfriends, including media personalities Airlie Walsh and Renee Bargh, aboard an exclusive yacht in late April. Snippets of Delta Goodrem 's luxurious hen party in Sydney were posted on social media. The Aussie singer celebrated her upcoming nuptials with a boat party and sundowners at a glitzy beachside restaurant alongside her nearest and dearest. In a photo dump posted to Instagram by the Today show's Renee Bargh, Delta looked radiant as she wore an all-white ensemble with a ruffle bodice in true bridal fashion. The festivities kicked off on a Zephyr Charters yacht, catered by Harvest Lane Food with cold meats and bubbles, before heading to The Joey on Palm Beach for sunset. The Born to Try hitmaker recently gave fans a rare insight into her relationship with her musician fiancé. Delta graced Stellar magazine for Sunday's The Daily Telegraph in March and shared details from Matthew's proposal. She said the musician proposed to her before they were set to begin the Innocent Eyes Anniversary Tour in September 2023. She admitted she was hesitant about sharing the exciting news on social media but eventually decided to make the announcement. 'I was tussling so bad in that moment. But I was like, "just share it." 'Then during that tour, it felt like we had done an engagement party in every city,' she said. 'I thought that was beautiful that we got to share that in our own way. We're on stage together. It's a love language for us being up there, but I love keeping us as a sacred house, too.' Matthew popped the question as the sun set over the Mediterranean, and Delta shared the joyous moment with her fans by posting a heartwarming snap of the couple toasting with a kiss and a glass of bubbly.

Neighbours legend & Aussie pop star reveals dream of singing at Eurovision
Delta Goodrem has almost done it all – with a string of Top Ten hits and worldwide sell-out concerts under her belt. But the Aussie singer says there is still one big thing to tick off her bucket list. 8 Delta Goodrem has almost done it all – with a string of Top Ten hits and worldwide sell-out concerts under her belt - but still has Eurovision on her bucket list Credit: Kinga Nowicka/supplied 8 Delta was joined on stage in Hackney by pal Calum Scott Credit: Kinga Nowicka/supplied Sitting down with our Jack backstage at the Hackney Empire in East London, before one of her two live shows at the venue this week, she reveals: 'Of course I would do Eurovision. I love it!' Delta says she was thrilled when Australia was allowed into the contest in 2015, adding: 'I'm obsessed. I flew into London and watched some of the semi-finals. 'I loved Scott Mills and Rylan's commentary. I love the creativity of it all. 'You discover some amazing talents.' And she says of this year's UK entry: 'Remember Monday are so cute and gorgeous. 'I love their harmonies. They are so talented. 'And I've got my thoughts on what I would do if I was competing, for sure.' As for Delta's own concerts, she wears a ballgown to play dark and moody songs on a piano, before jumping about in a sparkling mini-dress and being showered in confetti. She says: 'I dance and party with everyone when I am on stage, but I also love the drama.' Delta's UK shows have celebrated her 2004 record, Mistaken Identity. 'I love Hobnobs' It spawned two UK Top Tens — Out Of The Blue and Almost Here. Eurovision legends look unrecognisable as they go backstage at contest - can you tell who they are- For the latter, she was joined on stage in Hackney by pal Calum Scott. It was the first time that Delta had performed the album in full. She says: 'Calum and I have known each other for years. When he was in Australia, I popped up at one of his shows, too. I love him, he has such a beautiful voice.' While Born To Try singer Delta feels Eurovision-ready, there is one place she most definitely won't grab the mic — at her own wedding to musician Matthew Copley this summer. 8 On stage at Hackney, Delta starts by wearing a ballgown to play dark and moody songs on a piano Credit: Kinga Nowicka/supplied She says with a laugh: 'I have sung at every one of my mates' weddings, but no, I won't be singing at my own. 'My brother said to me, 'For my wedding, I want you to record the song so you can relax,' so I recorded The Darkness' I Believe In A Thing Called Love and they did their first dance to it.' Delta and Matthew tour the world together, with him playing guitar in her band on stage in London. When Jack points out it's said you should never work with children, animals or your partner, she laughs and insists: 'It's super-exciting. 'You get to live and breathe it together and you get to travel together. It actually came from Covid. And it was always natural as we always play music together.' When Jack meets Delta, she dazzles like she's ready for a glossy magazine shoot, with perfect hair and make-up. But she insists she's no diva. 'I am low key on my day to day,' she explains. 'When I'm not on a show, I am 20 minutes tops.' And what is it that helps make UK shows so special? 'Your biscuits,' Delta hits back almost immediately. 'I love Hobnobs. Everyone is having a cup of tea with one. 'And I like that you can get a train everywhere. We don't have that back home. You may hate it, but you've not had life without Tubes.' You wouldn't say that if you spent every morning with your face in someone's armpit on the Jubilee line, Delta. Swedes win wary Next year will mark the 70th Eurovision Song Contest – but it might be a damp squib if Sweden win as expected. Comedy trio Kaj's entry Bara Bada Bastu, which is all about how great saunas are, is the favourite to triumph. 8 Kaj's entry Bara Bada Bastu, which is all about how great saunas are, is the favourite to triumph for Sweden Credit: Shutterstock Editorial However, Swedish TV network SVT is not so enthusiastic. It has said the show would be smaller and with a lower budget than usual if the trio, above, win and they have to host it again. It wasn't profitable enough for SVT as hosts in 2013, 2016 and in 2024, when they lost the equivalent of £7.7million. Programme commissioner Anton Glanzelius said: 'It may be a smaller stage and lighting rig, but no matter what we do, there'll be large costs.' On the pressure for broadcasters, he said: 'There is an expectation among the audience and the competing countries to get a show of a rarely seen kind, and that costs money.' But the confident TV boss added: 'We are ready and have booked a kick-off meeting to start planning next year's show as early as Monday morning.' A ball for Miriana Malta's Miriana Conte is the contest's most controversial entry this year, thanks to her close-to-the-bone song Serving. It was originally called Kant, meaning 'singing' in Maltese, but a complaint by the BBC over its similarity to a four-letter English expletive meant she had to change it. 8 Miriana Conte, for Malta, is the contest's most controversial entry this year Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Miriana admitted she had a 'tantrum' when she was told about having to change the lyrics while on the set of the video earlier this year. But she has now come to terms with it and no longer sings the word, but reckons the crowd still will. She said: 'It's all been crazy. Crazy because I'm in disbelief.' Her performance, as seen in last night's second semi-final, includes an impressive costume change and an inflatable ball, left. But she said: 'I'm bruised and tired from rehearsals.' On her chances, she added: 'I like to live in the moment and I'm really enjoying this. I'll celebrate regardless.' JJ highly trained You will have your socks blown off by Austria's entry JJ and his song Wasted Love – hitting notes I didn't think possible for a bloke. He has spent months doing at least three hours of vocal practice a day, ready to amaze during his three-minute performance in black and white. 8 Austria's JJ stuns with soaring vocals in Wasted Love after months of daily training Credit: Corinne Cumming JJ told us: 'I'm practising every day. That's the opera singer in me who has to practise for at least three or four hours a day. 'It's been fun. Everything that's going to be put on stage in Basel is so exciting.' But one thing he wasn't willing to sacrifice for his performance at the contest, sponsored by Royal Caribbean Cruises, was his grub. He said: 'They normally say you have to avoid stuff, but I still eat anything I want. I'm not going to constrict myself.' He is second in the bookies' odds, which he said is surreal. JJ added: 'It's crazy. I feel honoured that everyone is accepting and loving the art I'm trying to put out there. It does put a little bit of pressure on me.'
