Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo surprised thousands of Australian music fans by appearing on stage to sing with country music superstar Zach Bryan at a sold-out show in Melbourne.
Bryan, 27, is currently Down Under on his Quittin' Time Tour and will be performing at Flemington Racecourse on Saturday evening.
Ricciardo, who is known for his singing skills, was brought on stage at the end of the evening together with Irish singer and songwriter Dermot Kennedy.
In several clips posted to social media, the trio can be seen performing a boisterous rendition of Bryan's hit “Revival.”
Bryan even did a shoey, in tribute to the Australian driver's iconic celebration.

Fans were stunned by Ricciardo's unexpected performance at the show, with many who were not present wishing they had bought a ticket.
“If you saw Daniel Ricciardo singing Revival with Zach Bryan, don't ever talk to me, you're living my dream,” one fan wrote on X.
“Zach Bryan and Daniel Ricciardo and I weren't there to see it?!,” another replied.
“Daniel Ricciardo went on stage and sang revival with Zach Bryan in Australia and now I will never recover,” said a third.
The eight-time Grand Prix winner has long been a fan of Bryan's music and even shared a clip of himself singing “Revival” on social media in early 2023.
The 34-year-old has also filmed himself belting out Matchbox 20's smash 1997 single '3AM' while driving down a highway – which didn't escape the band's attention.
'If you're ever looking for a part-time job outside of @F1, let us know @danielricciardo!' the band wrote on Twitter.
The Aussie has some experience in the music industry after scoring a guest appearance on a Gang Of Youths album in 2020 playing drums and backing vocals.
The Australian is known for his love of singing, often posting clips of himself on social media mentioning his favorites
