Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 06:20 · Archive

A 17-year-old singer from Trowbridge left a family cruise to perform at a Spider-Man film premiere in Paris, where she met actors Tom Holland and Zendaya.

Josh Blake, 17, from Trowbridge, was on a cruise to Norway with his parents when he received a message from pianist Julien Cohen inviting him to perform at a musical surprise connected with the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere. With around a week's notice, Josh left the cruise at the next port and flew to Paris alone for the first time. His parents, Barry and Joanne, continued their holiday on the cruise while his older sister Lauren travelled from Bristol to join him in Paris.

Josh performed Sia's Titanium at the Spider-Man premiere earlier this year and afterwards met actors Tom Holland and Zendaya. He described the experience as 'surreal' and said he was 'still in shock' after meeting the stars. 'About a week before I heard from Julien who DM'd me and said it was a very cool opportunity, and I didn't want to miss it,' Josh said. 'It was such a surreal experience and nothing I've ever done before.'
