Wedding singer's shock after spotting a man named Julius in the crowd

A wedding singer was left practically speechless after noticing a man named Julius in the crowd at one of the ceremonies he recently performed at.

Julius was no one famous, so why did his presence stop American artist Michael Blume, better known as Whatever Mike, in his tracks?

Because Julius is bodyguard to none other than Beyoncé.

"Before we got on stage, we were in this big wedding tent and I spotted her bodyguard, her personal bodyguard named Julius," Blume told Today Extra on Monday.

"I know what Julius looks like because I'm a big Beyoncé fan, so I saw Julius and I'm like, 'Oh my God, Julius is here'.

"And then I saw Jay-Z and I turned to our manager and I'm like, 'Dude, Jay-Z is here. Is Beyoncé here?'"

Blume's manager replied with just one word: "Yes".

Seconds later, Blume had to step onto the stage and start his set in front of two of the biggest music stars on the planet.

Calling the moment special would be an understatement.

"I've been doing this so long that I was able to kind of trust my body and just be on autopilot," he said, adding that he "disassociated" a bit when Beyoncé started singing along and dancing.

Days later, he could barely remember anything from that moment - so it was lucky that someone had recorded it for him.

Blume shared the clip on Instagram with an emotional caption and it quickly racked up thousands of views.

Though he didn't manage to get a selfie with Beyoncé on the night, Blume revealed to Today Extra that the star went out of her way to speak with him after his set at the wedding.

"We didn't get a photo, but she did step out of her way as she was leaving to come over and say hi to us," he said.

"She shook our hands and she looked right at me and my the other singer, Alina, and said, 'you guys sounded beautiful' ... it was really graceful and generous and graceful of her to come say hi."

Blume also clarified on Instagram that Beyoncé was at the event because it was her former assistant's wedding.
