He said: "I came out of Wetherspoons with my mate and saw someone with a bright top on, we thought it was strange so gave him a double look.
"We then looked at him again, looked at each other and realised it was him.
"We didn't know he was on tour but we heard his American accent and we knew it was him so asked for a picture.
