A London tube ‘rock star’ was filmed belting out Deep Purple songs without a care in the world.

Facing the door while travelling with the Metropolitan Line on Friday night, the man finished off the legendary rock band’s Stormbringer before starting on the intro of Smoke on the Water.

While some amused commuter filmed the entertainer, one passenger hid their face as the guy, wearing sunglasses, broke out in ‘soulful’ covers of the songs.
