Daryl Braithwaite returns Harry Styles’ ‘ultimate compliment’ by performing a cover of Watermelon Sugar at his Sydney concert
Harry Styles paid the ‘ultimate compliment’ to legendary Aussie singer Daryl Braithwaite by covering his hit Horses at his Melbourne concert in February.
Now, the former lead vocalist of Sherbet, 74, has repaid the hat-tip by covering Watermelon Sugar at his own Sydney concert on Friday night.
Since both singers were performing in the same city on the same night, dividing fans, Braithwaite honoured the 29-year-old’s fans in his crowd with the performance.
In a video uploaded to TikTok by fans, Braithwaite held up a sign written by a fan which said: ‘I had a ticket to see Harry but I picked you instead.’
It was all in good fun, however, as the veteran performer then launched into his own rendition of Styles’ hit Watermelon Sugar.

It comes after Braithwaite sung along to Styles’ rendition of his famous song The Horses at his Melbourne concert last Saturday night.
He attended the concert of the Grammy winner, who played his iconic song to concertgoers.
Braithwaite was plainly dressed in a white t-shirt as he bopped along to the performance at Marvel Stadium.

He smiled and laughed as the crowd danced along to the UK hitmaker’s rendition.
The entertainer shared his excitement to Facebook the next day, writing: ‘What an extraordinary night it was at Harry’s gig. I just love the feeling of these massive concerts as they take on a life of their own.’
He continued: ‘Harry Styles is so good at what he does and they loved him. I was completely overwhelmed by the night. Thank you to Harry and his army.’
Styles has certainly been winning Australian fans over during his Love On Tour as the tattooed star impressed the crowd by doing a ‘shoey’ during his set at HBF Park in Perth.
