Pet Shop Boys Wow Fan During Private Living Room Gig

February 2, 2010

Pet Shop Boys have surprised a female fan by recreating their 2009 Pandemonium tour inside her London home.

The duo, Neil Tannant and Chris Lowe, performed 'It's A Sin' in project manager Lorraine Sands's living room.

Sands told the BBC she thought she was "hallucinating" during the gig.

Tennant said: "It's amazing how much you can do in such a relatively small space compared with a stage.

"That was the whole point of it, to recreate an arena production, or elements of it anyway, in the intimate environment of a living room."

Organised to mark 30 years of the Brit Awards, the performance will be shown during the ceremony on February 16.

Pet Shop Boys are one of fifteen acts nominated for a special Brits Performance of Past 30 Years award at this year's event.
