Nicole Scherzinger turned an unexpected concert moment into a viral sensation when a man in the front row succumbed to slumber during her performance at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The Sunset Blvd. star captured the hilarious scene on Instagram, sharing a Reel that zoomed in on the unperturbed sleeper with his head reclined and mouth agape as she hit a high note onstage. The camera then smoothly panned back to Scherzinger's performance, captioned with the witty quip, "Wait, is this my cue to drop a lullaby album?" She added, "Lullaby album pending."
Celebrities and fans alike joined in on the laughter, with Natasha Bedingfield commenting she'd "definitely play that every night," and producer David Foster chiming in with his approval, writing, "I'm in!" Laverne Cox noted how the man was "front row fully passed out" despite Scherzinger "singing the hell out of that song."
This moment comes a month after Scherzinger publicly apologized for a 45-minute delay at her October 6 Royal Albert Hall show in London. The Pussycat Dolls alum later told The Sun she was "devastated" to learn fans had been waiting, explaining the late start stemmed from a timing mix-up. She added that she hadn't even been able to soundcheck every song with the orchestra that night.
