Sombr came back to many friends when he surprised a group of fans at the 14th Street-Union Square subway stop in New York Oct. 29.
The “Homewrecker” heartthrob, sporting ripped jeans and shades, sauntered in flanked by police and followed by a crowd of phone-waving Sombr enthusiasts. Dozens of devotees crowded the makeshift performance area yelling out, “You saved my life!” and “Can I have a picture?”
The budding singing star – and native New Yorker - ignored the noise and smiled with a thumbs up as he asked the shrieking throng, “How we doing, guys?”
With the help of a keyboardist and several background singers, Sombr launched into a soulful version of is “My Body Isn’t Ready.”

The Sombr surprise came on a day off from his worldwide You are the Reason arena tour. The 21-year-old singer performs in St. Louis Oct. 30 and in Kansas City, Missouri on Halloween.
The North American leg of his tour, which kicked off Sept. 29, rolls through Nov. 23, where he’ll return to New York – this time at Madison Square Garden.
