Delta Goodrem Stuns UK Fans with Electrifying Surprise Performance in London

Delta Goodrem captivated her UK audience this week with a surprise performance in London.

The 41-year-old songstress, known for her hit “Born To Try,” thrilled a select group of fans by performing her new single “Eclipse” and a medley of her classic hits beneath a Camden bridge.

“Eclipse” is the song Goodrem will showcase as Australia’s entry in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

The impromptu concert served as a live debut for the track in the UK, offering fans a sneak peek before the big event.

Appearing completely in her element, the former “Neighbours” actress delivered a compelling rendition on an improvised stage, leaving the audience in awe.

She cut a very chic figure for the show, stepping out in a striking, brown faux fur coat.

The Born To Try hitmaker, 41, delighted an intimate crowd as she performed her track Eclipse under a bridge in the inner London borough of Camden. It’s the tune that Delta will take to this year’s Eurovision Song Contest as Australia’s representative

Delta also wore an eye-catching plaid shirt that featured a long, matching scarf panel attached to the neckline, giving a layered effect.

She tucked the relaxed-fit, long-sleeve shirt loosely into a pair of light brown tailored wide-leg trousers.

Delta finished the chic ensemble with a pair of brown suede boots, her golden blonde locks styled in loose waves that fell freely over her shoulders. 

Dialling back on the accessories, Delta shielded her eyes from the sun with a pair of large black sunglasses.

She also showed her patriotic spirit, proudly waving an Australian flag as she wowed the crowd with her vocal talent. 

Delta partnered with Aussie biscuit icon Tim Tam for the show, later taking to Instagram to share a clip of the experience. 

‘Popping up in London today and performing Eclipse for the first time in person for my UK fam on a glorious sunny day!!! And what better way to do it than with THE Australian icon,’ she wrote.

‘Yum. Thank you for treating my friends as we sang away!! Best news ever that Tim Tam bikkies are now available here in the UK!!!!’

Delta was using the show as a road test for the track, revealing that it was the first time Eclipse had been performed live

The clip also showed Delta grabbing handfuls of Tim Tams from buckets and throwing them into an adoring crowd.

She also found time to meet and greet her UK fans, who appeared chuffed to be in the company of the Aussie musical icon.    

Delta was happy to chat with overjoyed fans and pose for selfies after stepping off stage.  

Delta was announced as Australia’s Eurovision hopeful in March.

The former Neighbours star said she was over the moon with the announcement.    

‘I’m so honoured to represent Australia on one of the biggest and most iconic music stages in the world at Eurovision,’ she said in a statement.

‘As a singer-songwriter, music has been my lifelong passion. I’ve always loved the creativity, individuality, and joy Eurovision brings, connecting and uniting people across the globe through music; the universal language. 

‘I can’t wait to arrive in Vienna and make Australia proud.’

Australia’s Eurovision creative director Paul Clarke said that Delta was the ‘perfect choice’ to carry the country’s hopes. 

‘Delta Goodrem is a once-in-a-generation artist. Her elegant songwriting and unmatched vocal ability make her the perfect choice to represent Australia and eclipse the competition at the 70th anniversary of Eurovision in Vienna,’ he said.

‘Her song is a bold step towards the next stage of her worldwide career, and we are excited to bring her vision to life on the stage in May.’

Speculation about a Delta Eurovision appearance has been swirling for some time now – something the singer addressed in 2023.

‘I’ve always loved watching Eurovision, it’s such a great moment in time,’ she told Yahoo Lifestyle.

‘Wherever I’ve been in certain moments of time just hasn’t crossed paths with that in whatever cycle of music I was in.

‘I’ve always been just running in my own race and whatever I’m meant to sort of cross paths with I’ll move towards that if a time feels right.’

The announcement places Delta in good company, with the likes of Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy, and Kate Miller Heidke, previously representing Australia at Eurovision.

Last year’s entrant Go-Jo was booted out of the competition during the semi-finals in Switzerland.    

Go-Jo, real name Marty Zambotto, bowed out after his tongue-in-cheek song Milkshake Man, written by Aussie pop star Amy Sheppard, did not win over the crowd.
