‘So lovely’: Stevie Wonder surprises Stalybridge restaurant with late-night visit and £1,000 tip

Singer, 76, was in Manchester with his band for penultimate UK show of his Songs in the Key of Life anniversary tour

When Stevie Wonder’s team just called to say: “Can we all come to your restaurant in Stalybridge at 11pm on a Sunday?” Ryan Robinson, of course, said yes.

First the band turned up, and then – at 12.30am – the man himself arrived. Hours later, staff at the Cafe Continental were sharing a £1,000 tip.
