David Gilmour was joined by Benedict Cumberbatch onstage at London‘s Royal Albert Hall last night (September 28).

The Sherlock star took to the stage to perform the final song of the night, a version of “Comfortably Numb”, originally featured on Pink Floyd‘s 1979 album The Wall, after being personally invited by Gilmour.

The two were introduced by mutual friends, with Cumberbatch stepping into the shoes of David Bowie, who performed the song with the guitarist at the Royal Albert Hall in 2006. It was Bowie’s final stage appearance.
