The 30-year-old performed a secret gig at London's Westminster's Central Hall to launch the Vodafone Live Music Awards.

After his slightly below par appearance, he went off to Mahiki in the capital's exclusive Mayfair.

Celebrities in the exclusive audience included X-Factor winner Leona Lewis and a hop-a-long Rhianna - still sporting a poorly foot.

Despite the injury, the singer was still partying at Stringfellows until 4.30am with Kanye.
