Ever a woman of the people, delighted everyone as a very special guest made a surprise appearance for her BST Hyde Park set.
The, 76, brought out star for not one, but two duets.
For the encore, performed Stop Dragging My Heart Around and Landslide, both of which Harry has covered in the past – Stop Dragging My Heart Around in 2019 and Landslide in 2020 at his Fine Line album launch.
The gig marked Harry’s first show in one year since the end of the highly successful Love On Tour, plus the first time he’s made since .
Now sporting somewhat of a mullet, Harry’s brunette locks are growing back after he shocked the internet by debuting a buzz cut last year.
Looking as suave as ever in a fitted brown suit, though, the Grammy winner played guitar and nailed his vocals before the crowd erupted into rapturous applause for the iconic pairing.
Stevie and Harry’s friendship is in the industry, as both have spoken at length about loving the other’s work.
It’s believed the 1D alum first met in 2015 backstage at one of her shows, bringing her a birthday cake as a way of introducing himself.
Their bond only grew from there and, in 2019, they sang together at Stevie’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction.
Having chosen the Kiwi hitmaker to be part of her magical night, Stevie was presented by Harry with the prestigious honour, who hailed her as ‘the magical gypsy Godmother who occupies the in-between’.
Meanwhile, Stevie previously said she and Harry are ‘best friends in another life’.
‘He’s that kind of friend,’ she told Zane Lowe on Apple 1 Music. ‘He’s a brother and a son and maybe we’re best, best friends in another life or something.’
Similarly, she also previously described him as ‘the son [she] never had’.
‘When Harry came into our lives, I said, “Oh my God, this is the son I never had.” So I adopted him,’ she said.
‘I love Harry, and I’m so happy Harry made a rock-and-roll record — he could have made a pop record and that would have been the easy way for him,’ Stevie added with pride following the release of his debut solo album.
Elsewhere in her Hyde Park set, Stevie became emotional as she paid tribute to late friends.
Following Landslide, Christine honoured Christine McVie, .
‘At the end of the show, since the end of last year and since Christine passed away, I would say something about her, and I asked Harry to do this with me and it’s a lot to ask someone to sing a heavy song about a best friend that died so suddenly and so sadly,’ she shared.
‘What I want to say to you is that Christine was Harry’s girl, she was my girl, she was your girl, and she loved all of you, and today would’ve been her birthday.’
She added tearfully on the day : ‘Harry, thank you, I thank you.’
Stevie also paid tribute to Tom Petty, who died in 2017.
Speaking about the last time she saw him, which was on Hyde Park’s stage, Stevie reminisced on performing together.
‘This is a special day for a lot of reasons for me to be back here because I feel his presence and I know he’s here, and he’s happy we’re here, so I’m just gonna sing one of my favourite songs that he wrote, for you.’
She then went into the beloved tune Free Fallin’ as a tribute.
The rock legend’s Hyde Park show forced her to cancel two gigs.
Stevie was due to perform in Glasgow and Manchester last week, but a leg injury required medical treatment.
Thankfully, the star is on the mend and the surgery did not affect her headline performance in London tonight.
She’s also set to perform her final two tour dates in the Netherlands next week.
