He's used to packing out stadiums and performing on some of the biggest stages in the biz.
But Liam Payne showed he's not afraid of getting back to his roots as he gave an impromptu and very personal performance in the middle of London, on Monday afternoon.
Surprising the general public milling around Oxford Circus, the 23-year-old One Direction star and his latest collaborating partner, Zedd, performed their new single Get Low - much to the delight of a small crowd.

In a video captured by one lucky member of the general public, Liam is seen on tip-top form as he sings and bounces around in front of a crowd outside one of the underground entrances on the famous crossroad (more used to hosting buskers).
Dressed down in a casual ensemble and with a rucksack slung over one shoulder, it's not hard to see how the world famous pop star was able to slip into the busy area to perform a street level gig.
Both Liam and Zedd, a Russian producer and artist well-known for his ability to churn out the hits, wore rucksacks with speaker units disguised in them.

Bouncing around and playing up to the ring of fans (and their smartphones), the Wolverhampton-born star can't help but flash a smile as he performs his music with no thrills attached; at one point he even cheekily sidles up to a woman sings straight into her phone.
With just a microphone and Zedd's keyboard to accompany him, Liam's pure vocal talent is put on display in the recording.

And while his mix of hip hop beats and pop hooks may not be to everyone's taste, he's sure to have won some fans over in Oxford Circus.
Liam himself kept quiet about the gig on his social media, though Zedd warned fans the pair were out and about in the capitol - though it seems he confused Oxford Circus for Trafalgar Square in his tweets.
