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 song Horses at his Melbourne concert in February.
Now Sherbet’s former lead singer, 74, has repaid the hat tip by covering Watermelon Sugar at his own concert in Sydney on Friday night.
With both singers performing in the same city on the same night and dividing fans, Braithwaite honored the 29-year-old’s fans in his audience with the performance.
In a video uploaded to TikTok by fans, Braithwaite holds up a sign that reads, “I had a ticket to see Harry, but I chose you.”
It was all a lot of fun, though, as the veteran performer launched his own rendition of Styles’ hit Watermelon Sugar.

It comes after Braithwaite sang along to Styles’ rendition of his famous song The Horses at his concert in Melbourne last Saturday night.
He attended the concert of the Grammy winner, who performed his iconic song to concertgoers.
Braithwaite was dressed simply in a white T-shirt as he stumbled into the gig at Marvel Stadium.

He smiled and laughed as the audience danced along to the British hitmaker’s rendition.
The entertainer shared his excitement on Facebook the following day, writing: ‘What an extraordinary night it was at Harry’s performance. I just love the feeling of these huge 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 certainly won over Australian fans on his Love On Tour when the tattooed star impressed the crowd by doing a ‘shoey’ during his set at HBF Park in Perth.
