When the singer arrived to Dino’s on Saturday night, he was wearing a “disguise.” According to the Review-Journal, he wore a tan suit, a short bow tie, glasses, and a blondish wig. To add to the peculiar nature of his outfit, he was also holding a red balloon.

Martin sang a karaoke version of Coldplay’s new song “All My Love.” Billboard reports that Martin seemed to sway “nervously on stage as people chatter in the background and occasionally whoop at the singer’s performance.” He then called a woman to the stage and handed off the balloon he was holding.
After getting through his special karaoke performance, Martin said the famous live, “Dino’s forever.” Then, he whipped off his wig and shredded his glasses, shocking the crowd with his real identity.
The crowd was ecstatic and faces showed grins of shocking reactions. It was truly a fun moment and even Martin had a cheeky grin while unveiling his real self to the crowd. Bartolo said this “performance” was planned, but she didn’t tell anyone including the staff, the Review-Journal reports.
This was a lovely surprise and shows another glimmering reason why anything can happen in Las Vegas.
